Like Horses

I can't control this flesh and bloodI can't control this flesh and blood
That's wrapped around my bonesThat's wrapped around my bones
It moves beneath me like a riverIt moves beneath me like a river
Into the great unknownInto the great unknown

I stepped onto the escalatorI stepped onto the moving stairs
Before I could tie my shoesBefore I could tie my shoes
Took a harp from the hands of a rebelPried a harp out the fingers of a renegade
Who lived and died the bluesWho lived and died the blues

And his promise was never clearAnd his promise made was never clear
It just etched itself in meIt just carved itself in me
All I saw was frost inside my headAll I saw was frost inside my head
On the night he said to meOn the night he said to me

Someday we'll live like horsesSomeday we'll live like horses
Free rein from your old iron fencesFree rein from your old iron fences
There's more ways than one to regain your sensesThere's more ways than one to regain your senses
Break out the stalls and we'll live like horsesBreak out the stalls and we'll live like horses

We're the victims of heartbreakWe're the victims of the heartbreak
That kept us short of breathThat kept us short of breath
Trapped above these lifeless streetsTrapped above these bloodless streets
Without a safety netWithout a safety net

I stood in line to face the trialI stood in line to join the trial
One more victim of fateOne more customer of fate
Claimed a spot in the wheel of the wagon trainClaimed a spoke in the wheel of the wagon train
On the road to the golden gateOn the road to the golden gate

In the desert, I abandoned shipOn the flat cracked desert I jumped ship
It just made sense to meIt just made sense to me
I've been too long in the belly of the beastI've spent too long in the belly of the beast
And now I shall be freeAnd now I shall be free

I can't control this flesh and bloodI can't control this flesh and blood
That's wrapped around my bonesThat's wrapped around my bones
It moves beneath me like a riverIt moves beneath me like a river

I stepped onto the escalatorI stepped onto the moving stairs
Before I could tie my shoesBefore I could tie my shoes
Took a harp from the hands of a rebelPried a harp out the fingers of a renegade
Who lived and died the bluesWho lived and died the blues

The promise was not clearLa promessa non fu chiara
It was only imprinted in meS'erra solo impressa in me
I only saw the frost inside meVidi solo il gelo dentro me
That night he said to meQuella notte dise a me

We'll live like horsesVivrem comme cavalli
Free from the iron fencesLiberi dai recinti di ferro
That I no longer wantChe piu non voglio
To deny the sensesRinnegare i sensi

Come on, let's escapeSu dai fuggiam
We'll live like horsesVivrem comme cavalli

We're the victims of heartbreakWe're the victims of the heartbreak
That kept us short of breathThat kept us short of breath
Trapped above these lifeless streetsTrapped above these bloodless streets
Without a safety netWithout a safety net

One more victim of fateOne more customer of fate
Claimed a spot in the wheel of the wagon trainClaimed a spoke in the wheel of the wagon train
On the road to the golden gateOn the road to the golden gate

In the desert, I abandoned the shipNel deserto la nave abbandonai
It made sense to mePer me aveva senso
I've been too long in the beastSon stato troppo tempo nella bestia
And now I will be freeEd ora saro libero

Someday we'll live like horsesSomeday We'll live like horses
Free from the iron fencesFree reign from your old iron fences
There's more ways than one to regain your sensesThere's more ways than one to regain your senses
Break out the stalls and we'll live like horsesBreak out the stalls and we'll live like horses

Someday...Someday...

Free from the iron fencesLiberi dai ricenti di ferro
That I no longer wantChe piu non voglio
To deny the sensesRinnegare i sensi

Come on, let's escapeSu dai fuggiam
We'll live like horsesVivrem comme cavalli
