I can`t control this flesh and blood That`s wrapped around my bones It moves beneath me like a river Into the great unknown
I stepped onto the moving stairs Before I could tie my shoes Pried a harp out the fingers of a renegade Who lived and died the blues
And his promise made was never clear It just carved itself in me All I saw was frost inside my head On the night he said to me
Someday we`ll live like horses Free rein from your old iron fences There`s more ways than one to regain your senses Break out the stalls and we`ll live like horses
We`re the victims of the heartbreak That kept us short of breath Trapped above these bloodless streets Without a safety net
I stood in line to join the trial One more customer of fate Claimed a spoke in the wheel of the wagon train On the road to the golden gate
On the flat cracked desert I jumped ship It just made sense to me I`ve spent too long in the belly of the beast And now I shall be free
