I Won't Be Thrown From This Horse

Written June 2001

lyrics

I'm riding cavalry in some confusing war
Where guerilla tactics don't work anymore
I've got a saber, they've got semi-automatics
And I've got odds akin to Crispus Attucks
Ooh, la; ooh la la la la la la

And warm grey clouds have got me
Thinkin' it's gonna pour
But I won't be thrown from this horse
Though he kicks beneath me
And my saddle is slick beneath me
I won't be thrown from this horse

Skirmishes have broken on the front
And I can see a million fires at once
Tracers cross the sky like stars in motion
Desperation faith like baby lotion
Ooh, la; ooh la la la la la la

[Chorus]

Runners, take your marks
Marksmen, take your aim
Shepherds hear the barks
Spectators complain

But rainbows in a lightning storm are strange
Though I've seen crazier things in firing range
Crayolas stretch from atom cloud to cloud
Never such a victory quite so well endowed
Ooh, la; oh so well endowed in doubt

[Chorus]

Though the saddle is slick
And oh, the motherfucker kicks
I won't be thrown from this horse
