LYRICS

Home sweet home sweet 
where you been 
out making faces for a dime 
where field meets throne 
and rock meets skin 

don't you step inside before your time 

and come on baby keep your face up to the rain 
there are no words for us tonight 
do the stars just fall forever 
do the horses run in vain 
can you ever make somebody see the light 

vagabonds a knocking no you can't come in 
their hungers paying for the door 
but I got a little box 
oh look he fits right in 
and high above the albatross 
sings have it all at any cost 

and come on baby keep your face up to the rain 
there are no words for us tonight 
do the stars just fall forever 
do the horses run in vain 
can you ever make somebody see the light

Horses

Thread

Are you hanging on
Are you down by a thread
Are you hanging on by your hopes
Or baby
You hanging on by your dread

So swing high
or swing low
when you're walking off cliffs
just don't look below

Cause like a tight-rope walker
footloose and fancy free
you could come and hang by a thread with me

Now everybody's all settled down
puttin' up a picture of a happy family
but take a better look around
they're all just hanging by a thread no one can see

so swing high oh swing low
we'll go flying in the face of the great I don't know

and like a pile of showgirls
on a rusty trapeze
you could come and hang by a thread with me

we'll go ooooo wooo ooo oooo oooo oooo
woooo ooooh oooooh ooooh ooh oooh ooohhh

We'll be free as a bird
even if its a loon
so lift me up by the pinhole
in my hot air balloon
no no I do not want you to
rescue me
just come on and hang
by a thread with me

we'll go....
