Horses, lyric by Tori Amos

from the songs album Boys for Pele

I got me some horses to ride on to ride on
They say that your demons can't go there
So I got me some horses to ride on to ride on
as long as your army keeps perfectly still

And maybe I'll find me a sailor a tailor
and maybe together we'll make mother well
So I got me some horses to ride on to ride on
as long as your army keeps perfectly still
You showed me the meadow and Milkwood and Silkwood
and you would if I would but you never would
so I chased down your posies your pansies in my hosies
then opened my hands and they were empty then

Off with superfly sniffing a Sharpie pen
Honey it's Bill and Ben
Off with superfly counting your bees
oh me honey like one two three
The camera is rolling
It's easy like one two three

And if there is a way to find you
I will find you
but will you find me if Neil
makes me a tree an afro a pharaoh
I can't go you said so
and threads that are golden don't break easily

So I got me some horses to ride on to ride on
They say that your demons can't go there
So I got me some horses to ride on to ride on
as long as your army keeps perfectly still
keeps perfectly still
keeps perfectly still
