John Popper - Horses Lyrics

Pray to your altered idol
That it may spare you
Brave, grabbing at the bridle
Though the horses dare you

Looking to rise, looking to fall
Down and in and up and out
And end over end forever
Or easily at least until I see you again

In endless battle with the light I see
Some meant to heal, some meant to ease the pain
And I alone control the recipe
And my nature overrules my brain

Only in flashes do I seal my fate
Only gets foggy coming to the end
Always attempting to repent too late
Before the next thing begins

Pray to your altered idol
That it may spare you
Brave, grabbing at the bridle
Though the horses dare you

Looking to fall before my master's feet
Looking to find my own way
Looking could teach me but it's incomplete
I had to join in the fray

And now I pivot and I wheel around
Only to make a little distance
And almost vainly try to hear a sound
That could offer my resistance

Looking to rise, looking to fall
Down and in and up and out
And end over end forever
Or easily at least until I see you again

And all my theories are now put to test
Shattered before me like a childhood dream
And I am in it now like all the rest
Aboard the Disney ride supreme

(With the stamp on his hand, he was well in command)
And I shall stand upon her burning decks
(And when both doors flung open, he said he's in the band)
Through every tune that calls the question

(That's why I climb every time to the end of the line)
Begging me closer 'til my vessel wrecks
(Into my cold soul, I sold bold with the rock and the roll)
Upon the rock of her suggestion

(Into the jam, sleight of hand, it was attached to the man)
Pray to your altered idol
(He had bills, so he killed 'til the contract was filled)
That it may spare you
(And when we saw what he'd draw, it was against the law)
(With the stamp on his hand, he was well in command)

(And when both doors flung open, he said he's in the band)
Brave, grabbing at the bridle
(That's why I climb every time to the end of the line)
Though the horses dare you
(Into my cold soul, I sold bold with the rock and the roll)

(Into the jam, sleight of hand, it was attached to the man)
Looking to rise, looking to fall
(He had bills, so he killed 'til the contract was filled)
(And when we saw what he'd draw, it was against the law)
Down and in and up and out
And end over end forever
Or easily at least until I see you again
