Like Horses

I can't control this flesh and blood
That's wrapped around my bones
It moves beneath me like a river
Into the great unknown

I stepped onto the escalator
Before I could tie my shoes
Took a harp from the hands of a rebel
Who lived and died the blues

And his promise was never clear
It just etched itself in me
All I saw was frost inside my head
On the night he said to me

Someday we'll live like horses
Free rein from your old iron fences
There's more ways than one to regain your senses
Break out the stalls and we'll live like horses

We're the victims of heartbreak
That kept us short of breath
Trapped above these lifeless streets
Without a safety net

I stood in line to face the trial
One more victim of fate
Claimed a spot in the wheel of the wagon train
On the road to the golden gate

In the desert, I abandoned ship
It just made sense to me
I've been too long in the belly of the beast
And now I shall be free

Duet with Luciano Pavarotti:

I can't control this flesh and blood
That's wrapped around my bones
It moves beneath me like a river
Into the great unknown

I stepped onto the escalator
Before I could tie my shoes
Took a harp from the hands of a rebel
Who lived and died the blues

The promise was not clear
It was only imprinted in me
I only saw the frost inside me
That night he said to me

We'll live like horses
Free from the iron fences
That I no longer want
To deny the senses

Come on, let's escape
We'll live like horses

We're the victims of heartbreak
That kept us short of breath
Trapped above these lifeless streets
Without a safety net

I stood in line to face the trial
One more victim of fate
Claimed a spot in the wheel of the wagon train
On the road to the golden gate

In the desert, I abandoned the ship
It made sense to me
I've been too long in the beast
And now I will be free

Someday we'll live like horses
Free from the iron fences
There's more ways than one to regain your senses
Break out the stalls and we'll live like horses

Someday...

Free from the iron fences
That I no longer want
To deny the senses

Come on, let's escape
We'll live like horses
