The Shins - Mine's Not a High Horse lyrics

rate me

After that confrontation

you left me wringing my cold hands

we shared some information

we might not recover from

and I watch your convictions

melt like ice cubes in an ocean

you were so poorly cast as a malcontent

You've got them all on your side

that just makes more for doubt to slaughter

"I never knew he thought that!"

I heard you say falling out of the van

"Don't ask for his opinion

they ought to drown him in holy water"

Will you remember my reply

when your high horse dies?

We'd like to go the distance

but not a one of us is going

you see nobody is wise enough to turn this ancient boat around

these are the muddy waters i'm swimming in

to make a living were I to drown in them

it should come as no surprise

You want 'em all on your side

that just makes more for doubt to slaughter

"I never knew he thought that!"

I heard you say falling out of the van

"Don't ask for his opinion

they ought to drown him in holy water"

Will you remember my reply

when your high horse dies?

You've got them all on your side

that just makes more for doubt to slaughter

"I never knew he thought that!"

I heard you say falling out of the van

"Don't ask for his opinion

they ought to drown him in holy water"

Will you remember my reply

one finger parallel to the sky?
