Horses in First Drafts

All I wanna do is sleep And drink hot honey water in a dream All I wanna do is be Untroubled before a soft-core stream Feeling free But I hear your heart pounding like Hooves upon the shore And your bright face is enlightening The dark side of my door And your clear voice is ringing out It's time to go to war But all I wanna do is sleep But you know that there's been So many horses in First drafts of lyrics Not make the cut And you know that I've tried So hard to avoid This one cliche But I now wonder Is it the one you want? I now wonder Is it the one you want? I now wonder Hey remember when we first heard "Holocene"? We got real heavy into arpeggios I was relieved to not be relied upon To play any real guitar-solos Granted that we're not magnificent We still tried our best to write quote-unquote "Hauntingly beautiful" songs In the most delicate and dulcet tones But you know that there's been So many horses in First drafts of lyrics Not make the cut And you know how I've tried So hard to avoid This one cliche But I now wonder If it's the one you want (Run with the horses) I now wonder If it's the one you want (Run with the horses) I now wonder If it's the one (Run with the horses) You want Cos every other flanneled father Roughly my age Can't help themselves but sing along With The Boss And when it hits the chorus We hear the galloping of horses And we believe even just for a minute We could recover all we've lost Singing baby Let me bring you underwing now Rib to rib as first lovers be And we would learn To ride the lightning Out to the far end of the sea I wanna behold you in all your glory See how you run under the hood I'll pledge to you alone My heart and flesh And all my earthly goods But you know this is where it gets So embarrassing That we'd trade this for a simulation Of smeared honey on our knees Or otherwise we bear down hard Play every co-dependent card And stay convinced This is how we lead But you know I tried so hard to avoid these Cliches I rightly resisted But I'm left wondering Is there one I can't outrun? Run with the horses Run with the horses I still wonder What it is you want Am I a bride or am I a son? Or is it whatever Being a man means In Heaven's eternity That I can fully rest My head upon Til we behold what we'll become Run with the horses Run with the horses
