lyrics

Last night I watched a fervent couple conquer whip and spur
Hearts pumping in their breasts, along the shoreline they did run
‘Til they fled into the ocean and Poseidon’s cool embrace
And found a world where men and horses live side by side as one

Tempering desire with a vow of secrecy
But all the pretty wild horses couldn’t drag it out of me
Trying to destroy an inner harlotry
But all the pretty wild horses couldn’t drag it out of me

If the flesh is more than willing, and the spirit lies as weak
Then the penalty is grim, as all the pretty horses know
You’ll be shackled to their tails as they run off in four directions
And the heart is torn asunder, but the spirit free to go

Tempering desire with a vow of secrecy
But all the pretty wild horses couldn’t drag it out of me
Trying to destroy an inner harlotry
But all the pretty wild horses couldn’t drag it out of me

And when I breathe my last, don’t throw me six feet underground
‘Cause I’ll never rest in solace for a moment even then
Just scatter all my ashes on the backs of those wild ponies
That I may at last run with them, my body to transcend

Tempering desire with a vow of secrecy
But all the pretty wild horses couldn’t drag it out of me
Trying to destroy an inner harlotry
But all the pretty wild horses couldn’t drag it out of me
