Horseshoes
Written and recorded by Moxy Fruvous
From the album "Wood" (WEA CD-10616, 1995)
Piano intro:
My sister Sue and me were doing stunts with electric trains.
She said she'd do my dishes so I handed her the reins.
And she engineered a collision steered by a hand-eye protege.
Before my train set started burnin' I heard my sister say:
(Chorus)
Look straight at the coming disaster
Realize what you've lost
You keep handin' out horseshoes
Horseshoes have gotta be tossed.
Horseshoes have gotta be tossed.
I dreamed I went to heaven 'cause I told my lover lies.
When I woke up I went to her and looked her in the eyes.
I said help me cry 'cause I can't deny this union's feeling wrong.
Then a flashback to the dream and angels singing songs.
(Chorus)
(Bridge: )
Don't push the river, if you love it set it free.
I said go on and see him, you can still come home to me.
I was satisfied God was on our side 'cause we're freer than the birds.
She sent me a letter, I didn't read it, I already knew the words.
(Chorus x 2)
Horseshoes have gotta be tossed. (repeat and fade)
