All I wanna do is sleep
And drink hot honey water in a dream
All I wanna do is be
Untroubled before a soft-core stream
Feeling free

But I hear your heart pounding like
Hooves upon the shore
And your bright face is enlightening
The dark side of my door
And your clear voice is ringing out
It's time to go to war
But all I wanna do is sleep

But you know that there's been
So many horses in
First drafts of lyrics
Not make the cut
And you know that I've tried
So hard to avoid
This one cliche
But I now wonder
Is it the one you want?
I now wonder
Is it the one you want?
I now wonder

Hey remember when we first heard "Holocene"?
We got real heavy into arpeggios
I was relieved to not be relied upon
To play any real guitar solos

Granted that we're not magnificent
We still tried our best to write quote-unquote
"Hauntingly beautiful" songs
In the most delicate and dulcet tones

But you know that there's been
So many horses in
First drafts of lyrics
Not make the cut

And you know how I've tried
So hard to avoid
This one cliche
But I now wonder
If it's the one you want
(Run with the horses)
I now wonder
If it's the one you want
(Run with the horses)
I now wonder
If it's the one
(Run with the horses)
You want

Cos every other flanneled father
Roughly my age
Can't help themselves but sing along
With The Boss

And when it hits the chorus
We hear the galloping of horses
And we believe even just for a minute
We could recover all we've lost

Singing baby
Let me bring you underwing now
Rib to rib as first lovers be
And we would learn
To ride the lightning
Out to the far end of the sea

I wanna behold you in all your glory
See how you run under the hood
I'll pledge to you alone
My heart and flesh
And all my earthly goods

But you know this is where it gets
So embarrassing
That we'd trade this for a simulation
Of smeared honey on our knees

Or otherwise we bear down hard
Play every co-dependent card
And stay convinced
This is how we lead

But you know
I tried so hard to avoid these
Cliches I rightly resisted
But I'm left wondering
Is there one I can't outrun?
Run with the horses
Run with the horses

I still wonder
What it is you want
Am I a bride or am I a son?
Or is it whatever
Being a man means
In Heaven's eternity
That I can fully rest
My head upon
Til we behold what we'll become
Run with the horses
Run with the horses
