Píseň: Horse To Water

Interpret:
R.E.M.
Album:
Accelerate
I could have kept my head down 
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 phantom-weight 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, 
You lead a horse to water and you watch him drown. 


You stumble on glass top table, 
TV's chewing shock-gone 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 fuckin' fried-up pub crawl 
Phantom-weight 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!
