Don't Look A Gift Horse

(альбом: Dressed For Drowning - 1980)

I don't know why I'm even living here
There's friction down on the street
Science fiction taking place all around
Read all about it

The news is on the hour and every hour
There's trouble under my bed
It's all around me
'Cause it's going on inside my head

I'm changing my station
Turning the dial on my radio
Tune to some silence
Changing my style right now

All the people downtown staring down at the ground
Don't see the Gift Horse
In the eye of the storm, in the peace of the dawn
You'll see a gift horse
And it's waiting inside, waiting inside...
Don't look a gift horse

I won't be in today and furthermore
Please take a letter, Miss Jane
Address it to the seeker
Somewhere in my brain

I read the writing on the subway wall
Where angels fear to tread
Reaching out, seeking out
Finding a brick wall head

Changing my station, turning the dial on my radio
Tune to some silence, changing my style right now...

All the people downtown staring down at the ground
Don't see the Gift Horse
In the eye of the storm, in the peace of the dawn
You'll see a gift horse
And it's waiting inside, waiting inside...
Gift horse...
