Track Lyrics
Bright Horses Lyrics
[Chorus: Warren Ellis]
(Ooh)
(Ooh, oh)
[Verse 1: Nick Cave]
The bright horses have broken free from the fields
They are horses of love, their manes full of fire
They are parting the cities, those bright, burning horses
And everyone is hiding, and no one makes a sound
And I'm by your side, and I'm holding your hand
Bright horses of wonder springing from your burning hand
[Chorus: Warren Ellis]
(Ooh)
(Ooh, oh)
[Verse 2: Nick Cave]
And everyone has a heart and it's calling for something
And we're all so sick and tired of seeing things as they are
And horses are just horses and their manes aren't full of fire
The fields are just fields and there ain't no Lord
And everyone is hidden, and everyone is cruel
And there's no shortage of tyrants and no shortage of fools
And the little white shape dancing at the end of the hall
Is just a wish that time can't dissolve at all
[Chorus: Warren Ellis]
(Ooh)
(Ooh, oh)
[Verse 3: Nick Cave]
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, this world is plain to see
It don't mean we can't believe in something
And anyway, my baby's coming back now on the next train
I can hear the whistle blowin', I can hear the mighty roar
I can hear the horses prancing in the pastures of the Lord
Oh, the train is coming, and I'm standing here to see
And it's bringing my baby right back to me
Well, there are some things that are hard to explain
But my baby's coming home now on the 5:30 train
Night Raid Lyrics
[Verse 1]
There's a picture of Jesus lying in His mother's arms
Shuttered windows, cars hummin' on the street below
The fountain throbbed in the lobby of the Grand Hotel
We checked into room 33, well, well, well, well
[Verse 2]
You were a runaway flake of snow
You were skinny and white as a wafer, yeah, I know
Sitting on the edge of the bed, clicking your shoes
I slid my little songs out from under you (Ooh, ooh)
[Chorus]
And we all rose from our wonder
We would never admit defeat
And we leaned out of the window
As the rain fell on the street
On the street
[Verse 3]
They were just a sigh released from a dying star
They were runaway flakes of snow, yeah, I know
They annexed your insides in a late night raid
We sent down for drinks and something to eat
The cars hummin' in the rain on the street below
[Verse 4]
A fountain throbs in the lobby of the Grand Hotel
The spurting font of creativity, yeah, I know
Your head in a pool of your own streaming hair (Ooh, ooh)
And Jesus lying in His mother's arms, just so (Ooh, ooh)
Up on the wall, just so
[Chorus]
And we all rose up from our wonder
We will never admit defeat
And we leaned out of the window
And watched the horses in the street
In the street
[Outro]
In room 33, yeah, I know
Yeah, I know
