| Place every bet on a hard horse
|
| He won’t go down
|
| Though his knees spasm
|
| Though he wants to grey out
|
| I heard them call me a hard horse
|
| If you can stomach the top speed, let’s take it on
|
| Your fever’s fewer than before and so it’s hard to get hot
|
| Is that a challenge or something?
|
| I’m never wrong about one thing
|
| You’re sick
|
| Keep below, I don’t wanna throw you
|
| Sick
|
| Now you know that I wanna know you
|
| Don’t endure a sickness you could let me cure
|
| And I want to
|
| I set my crucible fawning in a predatory way
|
| You’ve got a habit with stains; |
| I study etymology
|
| But I never succumbed to that dirty word till I met you
|
| Now I’m sick
|
| Keep below, I don’t wanna throw you
|
| Sick
|
| Now you know that I wanna know you
|
| In this blood a sickness you could learn to love
|
| And I’ll learn, too
|
| Sell every bet on your hard horse
|
| I won’t go down
|
| Though my knees spasm
|
| Though I want to grey out
|
| And you could call me a hard horse
|
| But keep below, I don’t wanna throw you
|
| Sick
|
| Now you know that I wanna know you
|
| In this blood a sickness you could learn to love
|
| And I’ll learn, too |
