I can`t control this flesh and blood
That`s wrapped around my bones
It moves beneath me like a river
Into the great unknow
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
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
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
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 the wagon train
On the road to the golden gate
On the flat cracked 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
