lyrics

NEW HORSE AND CARRIAGE

"welcome to hell" the barmaid said
"you've sure got a lot to learn
I'm gonna pour you a strong one now
so you better get ready to burn"

the medicine you swallow
won't never put you on your feet
mighty easy to fool yourself
when the taste is always sweet

(chorus)
Mama says there's always a new horse and carriage
coming down the road
Mama says wake up and ride while you can
put down your heavy load


the shadow where you're standing
I used to stand there too
and no I don't mind saying
I got a little bit darker than you

so straighten up your spine
slap yourself across the face
the dead end you've been driving to
it ain't such a big disgrace

(chorus)


the trick is to keep dreaming
while you're still awake
the trick is tying a knot
in the rattlesnake

the trick is distracting yourself
so your heart won't believe it's breaking
trying so hard not to notice
maybe you've been betrayed

(chorus)


like a bellydancer in a wheelchair
like a confession from death row
you've got the best intentions
all dressed up no place to go

so it's time to put on the makeup
because you're acting like a clown
when falling in love means failure
you won't want yourself around

(chorus)


here it comes hallelujah
