Poem To A Horse lyrics

You're too far to bring you close

Too high to see below

Just hanging on your daily dose

I know you never needed anyone

But they're rolling papers for your grass

How can you give what you don't have?

You keep on aiming for the top

And quit before you sweat a drop

Feed your empty brain with your hydroponic pot

You start out playing with yourself

You get more fun within your shell

Nice to meet you but I gotta go my way

I 'll leave again

Cause I've been waiting in vain

But you're so in love with yourself

If I say my heart is sore

Sounds like a cheap metaphor

So I won't repeat it no more

I'd rather eat my soup with a fork

Or drive a cab in New York

Cuz to talk to you is harder work

So what's the point of wasting all my words

If it's just the same or even worse

Than reading poems to a horse

You keep on aiming for the top

And quit before you sweat a drop

Feed your empty brain with your hydroponic pot

I bet you'll find someone like you

Cuz there's a foot for every shoe

I wish you luck but I've got other things to do

I 'll leave again

Cause I've been waiting in vain

But you're so in love with yourself

If I say my heart is sore

Sounds like a cheap metaphor

So I won't repeat it no more
