Lyrics
0:00Another Horsedreamer’s Blues - Counting Crows
0:33Margery's dreaming of the middle of the day
0:38Tiyuri to win
0:39Perfect dozen to place
0:43Money is the matter that's been on her mind
0:48Time ticks by her one race at a time
0:54She's trying' to be a good girl
0:56And give 'em what they want
0:59But Margery's dreaming of horses
1:07Looking' at a green sky
1:09Sun like a red eye
1:12Bright blue horses are the fortune she lives by
1:16She's tired and lonely
1:19Scared and depressed
1:22Her visions of one day go racing the next
1:28She's trying to be a good girl
1:30And give 'em what they want
1:33But Margery's dreaming of horses
1:41Margery doesn't say anything all the way home
1:51So afraid she'll awake to find she's all alone
2:45Margery's wingspan's all feathers and coke cans and
2:50TV dinners and letters she won't send and
2:55Every race night is shot through with sunlight
3:00Trying to hit the big one one last time tonight for
3:05Drunken fathers and stupid mothers and
3:10Boys who can't tell one girl from another
3:15So she takes her pills
3:18Careful and round
3:21One of these days she's gonna throw the whole bottle down
3:25But she's trying to be a good girl
3:28And give 'em what they want
3:31But Margery's dreaming of
3:36Trying to be a good girl
3:39And give 'em what they want
3:42But Margery's dreaming of horses
Another Horsedreamer’s Blues - Counting Crows Margery's dreaming of the middle of the day Tiyuri to win Perfect dozen to place Money is the matter that's been on her mind Time ticks by her one race at a time She's trying' to be a good girl And give 'em what they want But Margery's dreaming of horses Looking' at a green sky Sun like a red eye Bright blue horses are the fortune she lives by She's tired and lonely Scared and depressed Her visions of one day go racing the next She's trying to be a good girl And give 'em what they want But Margery's dreaming of horses Margery doesn't say anything all the way home So afraid she'll awake to find she's all alone Margery's wingspan's all feathers and coke cans and TV dinners and letters she won't send and Every race night is shot through with sunlight Trying to hit the big one one last time tonight for Drunken fathers and stupid mothers and Boys who can't tell one girl from another So she takes her pills Careful and round One of these days she's gonna throw the whole bottle down But she's trying to be a good girl And give 'em what they want But Margery's dreaming of Trying to be a good girl And give 'em what they want But Margery's dreaming of horses
