Ponies Paroles

Allegra lashed out
With a cruelty
I've never know
It made me cringe
I nearly choked

Are you my man?
Ya, I'm your man
And who left you
That keyhole in your heart
Angry people
Populate your bedroom after dark
And I can help you
Only if you
Believe you're beyond help
I'm fadin'
Away
Deep breath
Now hold it
For a little bit Maybe I'm not ready for the real world

My friend Keith would
Hold me under
Water when we were ten
He'd let me up
When I turned blue
Then push me down again
I hardly ever
Think of Keith
Or that dead cat in the pool
He'd flick a lighter
Underneath my chin

Are you my man?
Ya, I'm your man
And who left you
That keyhole in your heart
Angry people
Populate your bedroom after dark
And I can help you
Only if you
Believe you're beyond help
I'm fadin'
Away
Deep breath
Now hold it
For a little bit
Longer
My God, no
Wonder
I'm ill
Maybe I'm not ready for the real world

High tension
Gigantic
Implosion now

I wed my child bride
A gangly Puerto Rican teen
We'd cuddle in the dark
And brag about our black gangrene
And who can help me now
That I believe I'm beyond help
Old ponies should die
Not fade
Away

Deep breath
Now hold it
For a little bit
Longer
If I try hard
I can imagine
I've a crookback and a whiphand
Maybe I'n not ready for the real world
High tension
Gigantic
Implosion now
