Geography Of A Horse Dreamer Songtext

based on the play "Geography of a Horse Dreamer" by Sam Shepard Old man put down your bottle go and tidy up your room the t.v. is broken, there ain't no room, there ain't no food, there ain't no air only cigarettes and it's time to tell us something And he turns with his eyes wide open and bleedin' and cryin' tell us what did you see in the neon in the halflight did you dream us a number did you dream us a winner tell us what did you dream? Don't pretend like you don't love us really you're a part of it all goin' bad and money you'll get a little maybe you can take a walk outside, breathe the air see what it's like to be alive. And he turns and he wonders what city he is in in a motel on some highway with bruises on his skin in the neon in the halflight did you dream us a number did you dream us a winner tell us what did you dream and he turns and he smiles and he makes them wonder he says I'll give you a number he says I'll give you a dream. It ain't Jersey it ain't Lilly it ain't no bloody mare or queen that keeps on comin' in to keep us in this hell that we're in. She lives on the third floor. She has three children to feed. I'll give you her number, you can call her and ask her If she remembers me.
