Night of the Horses
guitar chords lyrics
Is this how the world ends, mama
Under a blanket in the car?
10, 000 horses bolting around us
And squealing as they pass?
I remember the touch of this wool
It reminds me of toast and jam
And sitting up late in the torchlight
And reading right through to the end
Is this what it comes to, mama?
Just nowhere else to go?
My mightiest tree thrashed in flame
Her feet buried deep in the earth
I remember the touch of that tree
Twisted and sure, she invited you in
Way up over the town
I remember the touch of that tree
Twisted and sure, she invited you in
Way up over the town
Till the sun went away
The burning horizon found us
A 10, 000 horsepower train
Scrambling and wrestling and screaming
It's the Night of the Horses today
How did the world end, mama?
All these children in rows on the floor
Arrived in a state of adventure
White ladies giving them toys
Men stand in line at the phone booth
But I can't hear a thing behind the glass
Mama is this how the world ends?
With nobody
Nobody left to ask?
