peter stampfel - laura the horse (1999) lyrics

[verse 1]
laura’s birth was human
but a horse was in her mind
she couldn’t be a girl too well
a horse was more her kind
you’ll find her in the paddock
at any time at all and so they finally moved her in
and put her in a stall

[verse 2]
she had a friendly stable
boy, and lots of things to eat
and sometimes lumps of sugar
as a special sunday treat
but the questions of the neighbours
made her parents feel ashamed
there was fighting in the family
and everyone got blamed

[chorus]
everybody needs a dream
not many get to live on
drеams are seldom what they seem
so how much crеdence should you give one?

[verse 3]
so they found a fancy doctor
and they paid a fancy fee
and laura nearly died
from her enforced humanity
but another doctor saw her
he soon had it arranged
to move her to a stable
where her parents never came
[verse 4]
and there she lives quite happily
the stable fills her day
she dreams about her cult hood
while munching on her hay
but sometimes in her daydreams
there’s a green, unending road
and a silver cowboy rider
and a saddle made of gold

[chorus]
everybody needs a dream
not many get to live on
dreams are seldom what they seem
so how much credence should you give one?
