Poem To A Horse

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.

You're too far to bring you close

And too high to see below

Just hangin' on your daily dose

I know you never needed anyone

But the rolling papers for your grass

How can you give what you don't have?

You keep on aiming for the top

And quit before you sweat a drop

Feed your empty brain

With your hydroponic pot

Start out playing with yourself

You get more fun within your shell

Nice to meet you but I gotta go my way

I'll leave again

'Cause I've been waiting in vain

But you're so in love with yourself

If I say my heart is sore

Sounds like a cheap metaphor

So I won't repeat it no more

I rather eat my soup with a fork

Or drive a cab in New York

'Cause to talk to you is harder work

So what's the point

Of wasting all my words?

If it's just the same or even worse

Than reading poems to a horse

You keep on aiming for the top

And quit before you sweat a drop

Feed your empty brain

With your hydroponic pot

I bet you'll find someone like you

'Cause there's a foot for every shoe

I wish you luck but I've other things to do

I'll leave again

'Cause I've been waiting in vain

But you're so in love with yourself

If I say my heart is sore

Sounds like a cheap metaphor

So I won't repeat it no more

I'll leave again

'Cause I've been waiting in vain

If I say my heart is sore

Sounds like a cheap metaphor

I'll leave again

'Cause I've been waiting in vain

But you're so in love with yourself

If I say my heart is sore

Sounds like a cheap metaphor

So I won't repeat it no more
