Another Horsedreamers' Blues   





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 trying' to be a good girl 

And give 'em what they want  

But Margery's dreaming of horses  

Looking' 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  

Margery 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
