Jon Brion
Horses in the City
[Verse 1]
They walk the horses home at night right by my window
They pull their carriages along busy city streets
It's from another time, it's like a lullaby
But I don't think that I can sleep tonight

So I, count the street lights, I count the stars
I make a wish and wonder where you are
I wonder if I'll live long enough to feel again

[Chorus]
Help me 'cause I'm falling out of grace
I hang my head and hide my face
I don't know what it is I just feel out of place
Like horses in the city

[Verse 2]
I played the game, I dropped the ball, I lost another friend
I gained a future but I can't see where the future ends
I'd write a letter or write a song
But once again my voice just comes out wrong tonight

I wonder if I'll live long enough to sing again

[Chorus]
Help me 'cause I'm falling out of grace
I hang my head and hide my face
I don't know what it is I just feel out of place
Like horses in the city
[Bridge]
But they don't seem frightened
As the cars go speeding by
So why am I so terrified
To close my eyes tonight?

I'm just afraid there's no time, no time
This time

[Verse 3]
They walk the horses home at night right by my window
They pull their carriages along busy city streets
I wonder if they'll live to run without the reins again

[Chorus]
Help me 'cause I'm falling out of grace
I hang my head and hide my face
I don't know what it is I just feel out of place
No, don't know what it is, know what it is
I just feel out of place
And I don't know what it is, know what it is
I just feel out of place
Like horses in the city
In the city
