week twenty: the tiny horses of farmer cy and your cat floozie

the tiny horses of farmer cy and your cat floozie

oh you had a lot to give
and i know you don't think you did
the water under teeming fog
i’m way the hell inside of it

tiny horses neighing nights
that you got drunk and tried to ride
on the corner farmer cy
came out screaming shooting high

one horse bit your tawny cat
the lightning strike across her back
you chased him through the morning grass
how mad you were how hard we laughed

you were wild then i know
i know you think you’ve never been
you were wild then i know
i know you think you’ve never been

summer where the water’s low
the crayfish armor hollow gold
you fall asleep holding her
and dream you live below the stones

way into the morningtime
her on you like a motorbike
you say you know she'll leave you soon
you say you hope she’ll be all right

you were wild once i know
and way the hell inside a love
i know you were wild once i know
and oh wasn’t everyone
