One Hundred Horses

i'd bet my check you would never find where i went
twitching squirming laid out on the kitchen floor
a hundred horses could not bring me back
to the way i want
and i could be everything ive seen
youd say "oh my youve never seemed so clean"
a hundred horses could not bring me back
to the way i want

i see it happen and watch it go wrong
ice around the teeth youre still standing tall
im having so much fun away from it all
wait tonight for a friendlier snarl
wait around for the black heat to come
the scratchy breaths and the words that wont run
what do you need do you want some
i just wanna have some fun
i felt the trouble so i fell to the floor
but i dont really want your help anymore
i wish i was wrong
stop comming here all you do is rile my pets up
its all you do can you help me back to my rut
i tore my knuckles and forgot where i'd gone
and it doesnt really matter what was bought
i wish i was wrong
do you want to go home

it would be nice to be out there getting somewhere
and i dont know why they all have to be so mean
of course i'd like to watch tv
i'll love them through the end even when they steal from stores
every week i think of them in church
i curse their names and then i feel ashamed
i wish nobody can make me feel worse
my friend jean said to me that she feels backwards
i didnt wanna agree so i said "quiet jean let's read"
i could tell jean wasnt pleased
i'll go home and chase my dog across the lawn
then i'll walk around too long trick my mom to think im gone
walk back inside to apologize
i know i'll always have her arms
i think tonight i'll dye my hair
or i could try to change the way i speak
anything to feel free
everyone said the meaningful stuff was written on the walls
but all i found were swastikas on the bathroom stalls
i think im just off so i'll try to stop
but i guess im on my own

on the river where we looked for the rope
standing close for once with a joke in my throat
you threw my keys and i watched as they soaked
and you asked with a grin how would we get home
and the gleam is all i need
dog in heat now hes running to me
i know its funny but what do you want me to be
stumble through these silly made up streets
i see you there you stick your tongue out at me
and the gleam is all i need

well all muddy now
you cant be anymore than a scream
on top of it full of shit you know what i mean
youll never paint the whole scope of the scene
he chokes on his tie
he laughs and he waves as he thrashes around
but dont doubt all his lies
take a glance at his stance figure it out
one thing about me uh i never let up
two things about me's asking for too much
its no fun ill try out something else
put the things that i saved right back on the shelf
sit down and settle in its all you can do
tho there will always be another you
watch it play out again and on loop
watch it take flames was it always so crude
if i could find it all in a tree i would
but i can hear highways however deep in the woods
and the eletrical lines very tall they stood
the light peaking though reminded me i should
probably be getting home soon
its a comforting distance that we all know
an unspoken agreement of the normal flow
and the rivers and trees and the frogs and the bees
are nothing without my circular greed
