Lyrics

Horse To Water

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I could have

Kept my head down

I might have

Kept my mouth shut

I should have held my own

You lead a horse to water

And you watch him drown

You're only as big

As your battles

Rattle my cage

With your shadow

I'm a phantom-weight

With a mouth

Full of feathers

Don't you know

That what comes around

Goes around?

I'm not that easy

I am not

Your horse to water

I hold my breath

I come around

Round, round

Don't darken

My doorstep again

You're mixing up

Living in chin-chin

You're mixing up

Lose with win-win

You lead

A horse to water

And you watch him drown

You stumble

On glass top table

TV's chewing

Shock-gone cable

Pump me up

A beanstalk fable

And I'll call

This entertainment

'Cause Humpty's

Falling down

I'm not that easy

I am not

Your horse to water

I hold my breath

I come around

Round, round

Pick a fight

An ultra-buzzy bubble

Friday night fuckin'

Fried-up pub crawl

Phantom-weight

With a mouth

Full of feathers

Don't you know

That what comes around

Goes around?

I'm not that easy

I am not

Your horse to water

I hold my breath

I come around

Round, round

It's not that easy

I am not

Your horse to water

I hold my breath

I come around

Round, round

It's going down

Down, down

This runaround

Round, round

Is bound to pound

The daylights

Out of you
