Towards Horses

If all people were the same, I’d have no one else to play with
When the thunder and the lighting starts
We hurtle headlong with you in tow
…now go and ask the bookies how their gardens grow!

Cos with you, every heavy breath feels like resistance
You reach out your hand, it stops me falling back
And in one embrace, we collapse their systems
I never need to ask you if you feel the same…

Jackpot eyes at the edge of dawn
Free to follow, in your final form
Out in the weather, riding on
Into the coming storm…
Jackpot eyes at the edge of dawn
Free to follow, in your final form
Out in the weather, riding on
We go tearing towards horses

I went to meet you at the bridge
The damp walls held us up
And your heart could hurt a world of stone
Out in the weather, riding on…

An uncanny sense of space
The night air’s got that new rain taste
And the quiet of a loaded gun
The streets are warm and ours to run
We go tearing towards horses
We go tearing towards…

Jackpot eyes at the edge of dawn
Free to follow, in your final form
Out in the weather, riding on
Into the coming storm…
Jackpot eyes at the edge of dawn
Free to follow, in your final form
Out in the weather, riding on
We go tearing towards horses

What if someone else is there
Underneath your eyelids?
A charging horse
Some sleeping saint
