Dead Horses Lyrics

The other night I came home stoned
And later than I planned
I curled up and I passed out
On the loveseat
I thought I had an explanation
Thought you'd understand
But dead horses can't be beat

I thought love was a reason
I thought love was enough
I thought that love
Would make my life complete
These days we yell until we cry
Then we tell ourselves we'll try
But dead horses can't be beat

We watched our parents' divorces
We said that things
Wouldn't turn out that way
We walked hand in hand
Through a field of dead horses
Not knowing we'd ride them one day
So tonight I'm gonna sleep
Between these unfamiliar sheets
In a room I'm renting downtown
For ninety bucks a week

Got my hands under the covers
Trying to picture our love
But dead horses can't be beat
