The Horse and the Missing Cart

You don't wanna live by too many morals

Despite what your elders whispered in the cradle

Don't wanna write the end before the start

And you don't wanna dwell on what is beyond you

Despite what your better virtues may tell you

Don't wanna put the horse before the you know what

You know what

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

'Cause it's best not to live by too many morals

Enjoy the first sip before you finish the bottle

Don't wanna lie in that bed before you made it

And don't second-guess something once you believe it

The world keeps on turning if you take it or leave it

Don't wanna put the course before the heart

'Cause you don't wanna write that finishing line

Before you recall that arc in your mind

Careful to not be so careful before you step outside

You don't wanna paint that finishing touch

'Til you recall what you're dreaming of

You don't wanna preach yourself out

Out of too much light

Out of too much light

'Cause it's best not to dwell on some other man's fortunes

Another man's cravings, another girl's portions

Don't wanna bet that sum before the part

And it's best not to fancy too many favours

The more you win now, the less you will later

Don't wanna put that horse before the cart

And you don't wanna whine before you're dragged under

Best to talk now, think on it after

It's best to be stupid and selfish while you're still young

'Cause you don't wanna be so overly cautious

So fucking worried you're lost in the process

Best to forget yourself now, right at the start

'Cause you don't wanna write that finishing line

Before you recall that arc in your mind

Careful to not be so careful when you step outside

You don't wanna paint that finishing touch

Before you recall what you're dreaming of

You don't wanna preach yourself out

Out of too much light, mmm

Light

Don't preach yourself out of light

You don't wanna preach yourself out
