Roddy Frame - White Pony lyrics

rate me

Make a wish, blow them out, do it

Maybe if you get around to it

You'll get a dedication

On your favorite station, WLR

You make something out of nothing

An afternoon, sunlight, and a memory

And in the frames I see the flowering of your heart

And mine is opening, too

Don't learn to drive

‘Cause you'll drive a car

Over the edge of a cliff

Learn to ride, ride a white pony

Fly and keep the feeling in your bones

For when the days all drag and the nights are lonely

School where our fathers learned

Beneath the bough of oak and elm

Steadfast in thought and deed

Our hearts sing hail to thee

So we go out

Knocking around

Talking about the weekend

Inside freezing over

Can't hide, just sinking like a stone

And all you own is an icy feeling

So go try on the night

The dress, the shoes, the gaze

It's not forever

The arc of who you are

It’s the quicksand to the stars

And in the night

I hope that you found

Love in the lights and the sound

Life's fast, chasing after good times

Flies past, then you realize sometimes

You've got to stop and look around
