Lyrics of Mine's Not a High Horse by The Shins
verse
After that confrontation
You left me wringing my cold hands
We shared some information we might not recover from
And I watch your convictions
Melt like ice cubes in an ocean
You were so poorly cast as a malcontent
chorus
You've got them all on your side
That just makes more for doubt to slaughter
"I never knew he thought that"
I heard you say, falling out of the van
"Don't ask for his opinion, they ought to drown him in holy water"
Will you remember my reply when your high horse dies?
Lies down
verse
We'd like to go the distance
But not a one of us is gonna
You see nobody's wise enough to turn this ancient boat around
These are the muddy waters
I am swimming in to make a living
That I might drown in them should come as no surprise
chorus
You want them all on your side
That just makes more for doubt to slaughter
"I never knew he thought that!"
I heard you say, falling out of the van
"Don't ask for his opinion, they ought to drown him in holy water"
Will you remember my reply when your high horse dies?
chorus
You've got them all on your side
That just makes more for doubt to slaughter
"I never knew he thought that!"
I heard you say, falling out of the van
"Don't ask for his opinion, they ought to drown him in holy water"
Will you remember my reply?
One finger parallel to the sky, la-la, la-la
Writer(s): James Russell Mercer
