Don't ride a wild horse if you can't tame her She'll never take you anywhere you wanna go If you ain't got room for an elephant don't make friends with the elephant trainer There's no use planting seeds you don't want to grow In the shadow of our love lies another one We are the giant tree blocking up the sun Someday someone will come and cut us down Leave light for the flowers that are dying in the ground Come spirit cheerily to me in the flesh With the step of your soft shoe cut through this daily mess You can deal with man's desire, these heavy chains around his chest Take my place for a moment, spirit, for a moment let me rest And take me home Take me home Marry the demons for they love you best Without them nothing beautiful would ever be expressed Pressed deep to the bottom, shine a light across the floor There's no stars in the ocean, there'll be no end to the war Spinning like a marble on a pane of glass You find what can only happen once has already come to pass You place your hand on the table clothe and grip it with your fingers The plates have all been cleared but the taste of breakfast lingers Don't ride a wild horse if you can't tame her She'll never take you anywhere you wanna go If you ain't got room for an elephant don't make friends with the elephant trainer There's no use planting seeds you don't want to grow, so Take me home Take me home
