|
Well they were given the grapes that go ripe in |
|
The sun |
|
That loosen the screws at the back of the tongue |
|
But they told no one where they had begun-four horsemen |
|
They were given al lthe foods of vanity |
|
And all the instant promises of immortality |
|
Buyt they bit the dust screamin' insanity!-four horsemen |
|
One was over the edge, one was over the cliff |
|
One was lickin' em dry with a bloody great spliff |
|
When they picked up the hiker he didn't want the lift |
|
From the horsemen |
|
But you! |
|
You're not searching, are you now? |
|
You're not looking anyhow |
|
You're never gonna ride that lonely mile |
|
Or put yourself up on trial |
|
Oh, you told me how your life was so bad |
|
An' i agree that it does seem sad |
|
But that's the price that you gotta pay |
|
If you're lazing all around all day |
|
Four horsement coming right through |
|
Four horsemen and they're pissing by you |
|
They make you look like you're wearing a truss |
|
Four hosemen and it's gonna be us |
|
Well they gave useverything for bending the mind |
|
And we cleaned out their pockets and we drank 'em blind |
|
It's a long way to the finish so don't get left behind |
|
By those horsemen |
|
And they gave us the grapes that went ripe in the sun |
|
That loosen the scews at the back of the tongue |
|
But we still told nothing 'bout what was to come |
|
Four horsemen |
