Horse to water

I could have kept my head down
I might have kept my mouth shut
I should have held my own,
You lead a horse to water and you watch him drown.
You´re only as big as your battles.
Rattle my cage with your shadow.
I´m a phantom-weight with a mouth full of feathers,
Don´t you know that what comes around goes around?
I´m not that easy,
I am not your horse to water.
I hold my breath I come around, round, round.
Don´t darken my doorstep again,
You´re mixing up living in chin-chin,
You´re mixing up lose with win-win,
You lead a horse to water and you watch him drown.
You stumble on glass top table,
TV´s chewing shock-gone cable
Pump me up a beanstalk fable
And I´ll call this entertainment
´cause Humpty´s falling down.
I´m not that easy,
I am not your horse to water.
I hold my breath I come around, round, round.
Pick a fight an ultra-buzzy bubble
Friday night fuckin´ fried-up pub crawl
Phantom-weight with a mouth full of feathers,
Don´t you know that what comes around goes around?
I´m not that easy,
I am not your horse to water.
I hold my breath I come around, round, round.
It´s not that easy
I am not your horse to water
I hold my breath, I come around, round, round
It´s going down, down, down
This runaround, round, round
Is bound to pound
The daylights out of you!
I might have kept my mouth shut
I should have held my own,
You lead a horse to water and you watch him drown.
You´re only as big as your battles.
Rattle my cage with your shadow.
I´m a phantom-weight with a mouth full of feathers,
Don´t you know that what comes around goes around?
I´m not that easy,
I am not your horse to water.
I hold my breath I come around, round, round.
Don´t darken my doorstep again,
You´re mixing up living in chin-chin,
You´re mixing up lose with win-win,
You lead a horse to water and you watch him drown.
You stumble on glass top table,
TV´s chewing shock-gone cable
Pump me up a beanstalk fable
And I´ll call this entertainment
´cause Humpty´s falling down.
I´m not that easy,
I am not your horse to water.
I hold my breath I come around, round, round.
Pick a fight an ultra-buzzy bubble
Friday night fuckin´ fried-up pub crawl
Phantom-weight with a mouth full of feathers,
Don´t you know that what comes around goes around?
I´m not that easy,
I am not your horse to water.
I hold my breath I come around, round, round.
It´s not that easy
I am not your horse to water
I hold my breath, I come around, round, round
It´s going down, down, down
This runaround, round, round
Is bound to pound
The daylights out of you!
