Rocking Horse Road

The chains from the bridle and the reins fell from my hands An' the engines are idle and the ship sails on dry land I stood there stupefied, I thought I recognized Walkin' down Rocking Horse Road, getting lost Shot through Vaseline, he picks up the paper from the lawn And tucks, "The Suburban a*sa*sin", underneath his arm He smiles weakly and turns away, I know I'll never come to harm Walkin' down Rocking Horse Road, it's so peaceful It's like a photograph from the other side of the world I said, "I want you only", and then I left you alone Cryin' on Rocking Horse Road or somewhere quite like it The cemetery gardens, there are names Not numbers on the gateposts And the eyes in the curtain follow you like a smirking ghost I know I must not look back 'cause part of me is waiting still There on Rocking Horse Road for you In a little dream house made for two Well, you were the one that made your escape In your stocking feet and your sticky tape All the way down, all the way down All the way down, all the way down All the way down Oh, walkin' down on Rocking Horse
