Lyrics The Horse And The Missing Cart - Elizabeth & the Catapult

The Horse And The Missing Cart

You don’t wanna live by too many morals
Despite what your elders whispered in the cradle
Don’t wanna write the end before the start
And you don’t wanna dwell on what is beyond you
Despite what your better virtues may tell you
Don’t wanna put the horse before the, you know what
You know what
Oh-oh, ohh-oh-oh, oh-ohh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh-oh, ohh-oh-oh, oh-ohh-oh-oh
'Cause it’s best not to live by too many morals
Enjoy the first sip before you finish the bottle
Don’t wanna lie in that bed before you made it
And don’t second-guess something once you believe it
The world keeps on turning, if you take it or leave it
Don’t wanna put the course before the heart
'Cause you don’t wanna write that finishing line
Before you recall that arc in your mind
Careful to not be so careful, before you step outside
You don’t wanna paint that finishing touch
Till you recall what you’re dreaming of
You don’t wanna preach yourself out
Out of too much life, out of too much life
'Cause it’s best not to dwell
On some other man’s fortunes
Another man’s cravings, another girl’s portions
Don’t wanna bet that sum before the parts
And it’s best not to fancy too many favors
The more you win now, the less you will later
Don’t wanna put the horse before the cart
And you don’t wanna whine
Before you’re dragged under
Best to jump now, and think on it after
It’s best to be stupid and selfish while you’re still young
'Cause you don’t wanna be so overly cautious
So fuckin' worried, you’re lost in the process
Best to forget yourself now, right at the start
'Cause you don’t wanna write that finishing line
Before you recall that arc in your mind
Careful to not be so careful, when you step outside
You don’t wanna paint that finishing touch
Before you recall what you’re dreaming of
You don’t wanna preach yourself out
Out of too much life, mm, life
Don’t wanna preach yourself out of life
You don’t wanna preach yourself out
