Life is Scary Horses

by Bonnie 'Prince' Billy

Lyrics
Life is scary, we are scared, we've arrived here unprepared
Things are changing, we are learning, though many scary things don't change
We are finding, when we're looking, people have obstructed vision
Frightened people, always hiding, out in their homes upon the range

The human times have come and gone
We must accept our rule is done
Though love is sown and will live on
Come to me, let me see your eyes once more before the storms come again

We were born here, we are lucky, that's why we're so bright and plucky
Why we are so hale and hearty, we've been given all the keys
We'll pack up and go to town, that's where it all is going down, where
Everything is full collapsing, falling right in front of me

The human times have come and gone
We must accept our rule is done
Though love is sown and will live on
Come to me, let me see your eyes once more before the storms come again

We are all cogs, we are all dollars, born to starch the wealthy's collars
To how much more will we bear witness before we learn a way to be?
That isn't daunted, isn't haunted, is a friend to those unwanted
And to those who are most deserving of all our love entirely

The human times have come and gone
We must accept our rule is done
Though love is sown and will live on
Come to me, let me see your eyes once more before the storms come again
