Lyrics
Painted Horses
Here on the stage · baby she don't bluff · she lays her bets down · walks on through the crunch · now all that matters · she told me again you better find some real laughter · before your number's up my friend · you thought you knew it all · but never, comes a time · for everything · painted horses · all are running · for nothing's what it seems
Memories they scatter · they stay upon your wall · reaching through the shadow · she said, help me if I fall · I'm tired and hungry · for something I can touch · I got a thousand things · but it don't add up to much · you thought you knew it all · but never, comes a time · for everything · painted horses · all are running · for nothing's what it seems
There's seven horses · running through your door · you bought again the same thing · you threw out before · she made a wish · she wished upon a star · she said you better love yourself · start from where you are · you thought you knew it all · but never, comes a time · for everything · painted horses · all are running · for nothing's what it seems
