Anothers 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
