The Icicle Works - Hollow Horse (long version) lyrics

Be careful what you dream of It may come up and surprise you I can't confess my life's a mess I've come to idolise you You liken it to walking on hot coals I'll keep my boots on Wisen up and fly straight There's a shape on the horizon In a hollow horse I'll steal my way Onside your guarded heart So selfishly the needs I harbour When we are apart My past strung out behind me Contradiction and disaster I'm in search of charity A union I could master We'll be as we are When all the fools Who doubt us fade away Fortune deep and wide Intimidated, restless in the wait Things I chose to value I no longer have a use for I ridicule myself for all the things Those symbols stood for When vanity has played a part In every leader's downfall Wait to storm the gates, what's left Undone to hang around for We'll be as we are When all the fools Who doubt us fade away Fortune deep and wide Intimidated, restless in the wait
