lyrics

Horse Race

My lover is a horse race
I’m betting six-to-one
On the rider who won’t place
I know she’s the one

My lover is a sunny day
My lover is a coal mine
The canaries of your heart
Fly right next to mine

And when I see your face
I think I know you and all
In the middle of the day
I think I love you and oh

My heart is full of weeds oh no
My heart is full of beer oh no
My heart is full of all the wrong girls
All the wrong fears
Darling if I let you, could you take it from here
Take it or take it from here

My very own memories are junk
In my dreams I’m fun and carefree
In real life I’m a scarecrow American man
The murder’s coming for me

And when I see your face
Don’t think I know you at all
In the middle of the day
I think I love you and oh

My heart is full of weeds oh no
My heart is full of beer oh no
My heart is full of all the wrong girls
All the wrong fears
Darling if I let you, could you take it from here
Take it or take it from here

I’m on your side
Both your hands both your coasts
Holy mother holy ghost
Hallelujah shot right through ya
I don’t ever wanna lose ya

Take it or take it from here
