THE DARK HORSE

When you took me down

i was good enough

now you want what's easy

i can take you down

i saw you laugh

when someone pointed at me

i know where your birthmark is

i can make you the punch line

see how you like it

you'll like several others in this

southern hypocritical town

you lay with me

then put on a front for your friends

well -- what if -- i tell on you

put it on a postcard

what's in my heart -- disregard

in a corner of your hidden closet

wasn't it me who lit your wick

even though you quickly blew out the flame

but it flickered

i only wanted to float you down

my fault -- i'm the gawd damn clown

let me take off this jester's bell

take me off at the knees

that's where you want to keep me

down low -- sniffing up

i tame the lusty monkey on your back

i am the dark horse

come ride the dark horse.
