R.E.M. - Horse to Water lyrics
[R.E.M. - Horse to Water lyrics]
I might have kept my mouth shut
I should have held my own
You lead a horse to water
And you watch him drown
You're only as big as your battles
Rattle my cage with your shadow
I'm a bantamweight with a
Mouth full of feathers
Don't you know that what
Comes around goes around?
I'm not that easy
I am not your horse to water
I hold my breath, I come around, 'round
'round
Don't darken my doorstep again
You're mixing up living in chin chin
You're mixing up lose with win-win
Lead a horse to water and you watch him drown
You stumble on glass-top table
TV's chewing shotgun cable
Pump me up a beanstalk fable
And I'll call this entertainment
'cause Humpty's falling down
I'm not that easy
I am not your horse to water
I hold my breath, I come around, 'round
'round
Pick a fight an ultra-buzzy bubble
Friday night fucking fried-up pub crawl
Bantamweight with a mouth full of feathers
Don't you know that what
Comes around goes around?
I'm not that easy
I am not your horse to water
I hold my breath, I come around, 'round
'round it's not that easy
I am not your horse to water
I hold my breath, I come around, 'round
'round
It's going down, down, down
This runaround, 'round, 'round
Is bound to pound the daylights out of you
