The Shins - Mine's Not A High Horse Lyrics

Send "Mine's Not A High Horse" ringtones to your cell

After that confrontation
you left me wringing my cold hands
we shared some information 
we might not recover from 
and I watch your convictions 
melt like ice cubes in an ocean 
you were so poorly cast as a malcontent

You've got them all on your side 
that just makes more for doubt to slaughter 
"I never knew he thought that!" 
I heard you say falling out of the van 
"Don't ask for his opinion
they ought to drown him in holy water" 
Will you remember my reply 
when your high horse dies?

We'd like to go the distance 
but not a one of us is gunna 
see no body is wise enough to turn this ancient boat around 
these are the muddy waters 
I am swimming in to make a living 
that I might drown in them 
should come as no surprise

You want them all on your side 
that just makes more for doubt to slaughter 
"I never know her thought that!" 
I heard you say falling out of the van 
"Don't ask for his opinion
they ought to drown him in holy water" 
Will you remember my reply 
when your high horse dies?

You've got them all on your side 
that just makes more for doubt to slaughter 
"I never knew he thought that!" 
I heard you say falling out of the van 
"Don't ask for his opinion
they ought to drown him in holy water" 
Will you remember my reply 
One finger parallel to the sky
