lyrics

Sober up at the side of the course
Come and save me my little brown horse
I deserve…
more than this dreary life, clutching my ticket tight
I was waiting for you
It’s so obvious now

Take me out of this place, take me past the rat race
Baby girl Nirvana, telling me you wanna
Take me past the finish line, take me to the promised
land
Hold me in the bosom of Abraham

I am the righteous dead and if you don’t save me now…
if you don’t save me now…

I’ll burst out of the gate, on hands and knees, standing
ovation
I’ll hallucinate, my victory, my coronation

The sun was setting on my last chance
I bought my ticket with my eyes closed
Haven’t you heard of blind faith?

8th place but catching up
We brought the horse to water
told ourselves she wants to drink,

told ourselves we saw her drink
Fix the odds, we’ll have it all
We’ll make it foolproof, she’ll never fall
It only takes money and effort and years

The whole crowd cheers! Deserved, sublime!
A reason at last that I waste all my time

if you save me now
if you save me now

I’ll finally know what led me here and that it was worth
it
I’ll finally know what it was for and that I deserve it
Head back round the course, a victory lap, you know I
deserve it

you, you lost again, I lost it all but babe you were worth
it
