Violent Femmes - Fast Horses lyrics

rate me

(Verse)

There's something that I can't say

Something that guys don't like to hear anyway

It's not that I don't luv u

And it's not that I can't cry

Cos' I want to cry luv u when I think

That everything and everyone I luv will die

(Chorus)

Fast horses racing around the track

Although the course is slow

Win, place, or show

Everything in life must go

(Verse 2)

There's somethin' John Lennon neva wrote

Tell me what you hear when you listen closely to the notes

He neva sang a beautiful song, not like frank or what's his name, Elton John

Some crazy christian killed him, the poor bloke

But he was runnin' with some fast

(Chorus)

(Verse 3)

Stand, stand, stand up for me

Cos' I will stand, I will stand up up up up up for you

There's somethin' I think I lost and I might need to recover

There's nothin' that stand-up guys won't do for each other

They tore down the bar, and I totaled the car

You can have a drink to futility

You're not as bad as you think and you are beautiful to me

And you can be like fast

(Chorus)
