Another Horsedreamers` Blues Lyrics

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 tryin' to be a good girl  

 And give 'em what they want  

 But Margery's dreaming of horses  

 Lookin' 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  

 Margie 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
