Mine's Not A High Horse

After that confrontation

you left me wringing my cold hands

we shared some information

we might not recover from

and I watch your convictions

melt like ice cubes in an ocean

you were so poorly cast as a malcontent



You've got them all on your side

that just makes more for doubt to slaughter

"I never knew he thought that!"

I heard you say falling out of the van

"Don't ask for his opinion

they ought to drown him in holy water"

Will you remember my reply

when your high horse dies?



We'd like to go the distance

but not a one of us is gunna

see no body is wise enough to turn this ancient boat around

these are the muddy waters

I am swimming in to make a living

that I might drown in them

should come as no surprise



You want them all on your side

that just makes more for doubt to slaughter

"I never know her thought that!"

I heard you say falling out of the van

"Don't ask for his opinion

they ought to drown him in holy water"
