Elton John — Live Like Horses

[Verse 1] I can't control this flesh and blood That's wrapped around my bones It moves beneath me, like a river Into the great unknown I stepped onto the moving stairs Before I could tie my shoes Pried a harp out the fingers of a renegade Who lived and died the blues [Pre-Chorus] And his promise made was never clear It just carved itself in me All I saw was frost inside my head On the night he said to me [Chorus] Someday, we'll live like horses Free rein from your old, iron fences There's more ways than one to regain your senses Break out the stalls, and we'll live like horses [Verse 2] We're the victims of the heartbreak That kept us short of breath Trapped above these bloodless streets Without a safety net I stood in line to join the trial One more customer of fate Claimed a spoke in the wheel of a wagon train On the road to the golden gate [Pre-Chorus] On the flat, dry desert, I jumped ship It just made sense to me I've spent too long in the belly of the beast And now, I shall be free [Chorus] Someday, we'll live like horses Free rein from your old, iron fences There's more ways than one to regain your senses Break out the stalls, and we'll live like horses someday [Outro] Free rein from your old, iron fences There's more ways than one to regain your senses Break out the stalls, and we'll live like horses
