Wild Ponies: Hidden Verses


Climbing on the breeze she could taste it perfectly
A buttercup drowning by the stream
Never get it right with those muddy feet confined
Lost in the tide of a shallow dream

Lost and running in streams of green
Wearing shades of palomino coloring
Beat her down and run this one free
Tied off from your mental shackling

You’ve caught yourself some wild ponies darling
You’re lost in your jeremiad
You’ve caught yourself some wild ponies darling
You rope them in your purgatory

Hope you can ride and hang on tight
(Silent and loving is a gift from the Lord)
Cause her skin is crawling from the inside
(Shame-faced and faithful is a double grace)
Bear the load of your wet feet
Suckling your insecurity

You’ve caught yourself some wild ponies darling
You’re lost in your jeremiad
You’ve caught yourself some wild ponies darling
You rope them in your purgatory

Why can't these feet carry her faster?

Control of body can’t control the mind
(More bitter than death - woman a snare)
Now she’s ready this time to cross your line
(Her heart a trap and her hands are chains)
Better get on your phone and call this one back to you
Pure antidote for your hold

You’ve caught yourself some wild ponies darling
But you’re lost in your jeremiad
You’ve caught yourself some wild ponies darling
Lost in your purgatory


*Silent and loving is a gift from the Lord
Shame-faced and faithful is a double grace
More bitter than death-woman a snare;
Her heart a trap and her hands are chains

He Brings Me Sugar



don’t say morning’s come
don’t say it’s up to me
if I could take twenty five minutes
out of the record books

sugar
he brings me sugar

bobby’s collecting bees
and hammers he used one on me
cold war with little boys
get in with a bubble gum trade

and…
sugar, bring me sugar
and all the robins bring
bring me many things
but…
sugar, oh sugar

he brings me sugar
as far as I can tell
i’ve been gone for miles now

and you know and I know
i don’t know me very well

and I know and you know
if they found me out…

just watch, just watch, just watch what i do
sweet boy if they find you out
tell me what you think they’ll do

when they find you gotta little in here
tell me what you think they’ll do
when they find you out
when they find you out
find you

you’re such a pussy, my sweet boy
my sugar…

sugar
he brings me sugar
and all the robins bring
they bring me many things but…

Oh my God, my sweet boy
He's so sweet but we're just
Not enough hands
