White Pony Lyrics

Make a wish, blow them out, do it
Maybe if they get around to it
You'll get a dedication
On your favorite station WLSYou make something out of nothing
An afternoon, sunlight and a memory
And in the frames I see the flowering of your heart
And mine is opening tooDon't learn to drive
'Cos you'll drive a car
Over the edge of a cliffLearn to ride, ride a white pony
Fly and keep the feeling in your bones
For when the days all drag and the nights are lonelySchoo. where our fathers learned
Beneath the bough of oak and elm
Steadfast in thought and deed
Our hearts sing hail to theeSo we go out
Knocking around
Talking about the weekendInside, freezing over
Can't hide, sinking like a stone
and all you own is an icy feelingSo go try on the night

The dress, the shoes, the gaze
It's not forever
The arc of who you are
Is the quicksand to the starsAnd out in the night
I hope that you are found
Love in the lights and the soundLife's fast, chasing after good times
Flies past, then you realize, sometimes
You've got to stop and look around
