I Break Horses Lyrics - Smog

Well, I rode out to the ocean 

And the water looked like tarnished gold 

I rode out on a broken horse 

Who told me she'd never felt so old 

She asked me if I'd feed her 

And ride her now and then 

No no no, no no no, no no no 

I break horses 

I don't tend to them 

I break horses 

They seem to come to me 

Asking to be broken 

They seem to run to me 

I break horses 

Doesn't take me long 

Just a few well-placed words 

And their wandering hearts are gone 

At first her warmth felt good between my legs 

Living breathing heart-beating flesh 

But soon that warmth turned to an itch 

Turned to a scratch 

Turned to a gash 

I break horses 

I don't tend to them 

Tonight I'm swimming to my favorite island 

And I don't want to see you swimming behind 

Tonight I'm swimming to my favorite island 

And I don't want to see you swimming behind 

No, I break horses 

I don't tend to them
