Bonnie 'Prince' Billy - Horses lyrics

I'd be riding horses if they'd let me Sleep outside at night and not take fright I would ride the range and never worry I would disappear into the night Everybody needs an angel But here's that devil by my side d**h's head ring upon his finger Poor boy hanging on the light They'll be drawing straws inside the courtroom As the sudden twilight turns to black Torches burn into the sad eyes On the wrong side of the track Make those horses jump through hoops of flame They won't kick and they won't scream Let the good lord do the driving Poor boy sinking in the stream I can smell the campfires burning But I'll go out walking on my own By day and night the world keeps turning Frightened people hiding in their homes Everybody needs an angel But here's that devil by my side d**h's head ring upon his finger Poor boy hanging on the light
