Only the Horses
Scissor Sisters Lyrics

I know you didn’t realize
I understand that you weren't aware

That the city was gone
That the familiar surroundings we knew are no longer there

You thought there would be advertisements
You anticipated guidance and direction via commercial signs

To give you something to go on
To provide you with a plan or path to follow

So we search the sky
We look towards the heavens

For any flashing signs
In hope of any signals or indications

We’ve gone too far beyond
We've traveled too far away

The border it’s just you and I
Only me and you are within the boundaries

And if this is the end
If this is the conclusion

It’s the best place I’ve ever been
This is the most enjoyable moment I've experienced

It feels so good to just
It's a wonderfully refreshing experience to

Get lost sometimes
Occasionally be directionless

Only the horses
The equine creatures exclusively

Can find us tonight
Have the ability to locate us this night

Only the horses
Just the horses

Can bring us back home
Can return us to our place of safety

Our tracks they will follow
They will trace our path

They’ll hear us calling
They'll respond to our vocalizations

And save us by morning light
And rescue us when daylight arrives

Only the horses
Merely the horses

Can bring us back home
Are capable of returning us to our place of safety

Tonight
This evening

We can’t escape the basic facts
We cannot deny the fundamental truth

How cold it can get
How low the temperature can drop

There’s nothing to protect ourselves
We have no defense or barrier

When the rain gets us wet
When the precipitation drenches us

So I’ll just tell you now
Therefore, I will inform you at this moment

This is our final bow
This is our last performance or encounter

If you don’t know the way to
If you're unsure how to

Hold me let me show you how
Embrace me and I'll demonstrate

And if this is the end
If this marks the finale

It’s the best place I’ve ever been
This is the most incredible moment I've experienced

It feels so good to just
It's a pleasurable sensation to

Get lost sometimes
Occasionally be directionless

Only the horses
Exclusively the horses

Can find us tonight
Can locate us this night

Only the horses
Simply the horses

Can bring us back home
Can take us back to safety

Our tracks they will follow
They will pursue our steps

They’ll hear us calling
They'll respond to our cries

And save us by morning light
And rescue us with the morning's arrival

Only the horses
Only the equines

Can bring us back home
Can return us to our place of safety

Tonight
This evening
