Poem to a horse — текст песни (Shakira)

You`re too far to bring you across
Too high to see below
Just hanging on your daily dose
And you never needed anyone
But they`re rolling papers for your grass
How can you give what you don`t have?

You keep on aiming for the top
And quit before you sweat a drop
Feed your empty brain with your hydroponic pot
You start out playing with yourself
You get more fun within your shell
Nice to meet you but I gotta go my way

I leave again
Cuz I`ve been waiting in vain
But you`re so in love with yourself
If I say my heart is sore
Sounds like a cheap metaphor
So I won`t repeat it no more

I`d rather eat my soup with a fork
Or drive a cab to New York
Cuz to talk to you is harder work
So what`s the point of wasting all my words
If it`s just the same or even worse
Than reading poems to a horse

You keep on aiming for the top
And quit before you sweat a drop
Feed your empty brain with your hydroponic pot
I bet you`ll find someone like you
Cuz there`s a foot for every shoe
I wish you luck but I`ve got other things to do

I leave again
Cuz I`ve been waiting in vain
But you`re so in love with yourself
If I say my heart is sore
Sounds like a cheap metaphor
So I won`t repeat it no more
