Hitch

Place every bet on a hard horse
He won't go down
Though his knees spasm
Though he wants to grey out
I heard them call me a hard horse

If you can stomach the top speed, let's take it on
Your fever's fewer than before and so it's hard to get hot
Is that a challenge or something?
I'm never wrong about one thing

You're sick, keep below
I don't wanna throw you
You're sick
Now you know that I wanna know you
Don't endure a sickness you could let me cure
And I want to

I set my crucible fawning in a predatory way
You've got a habit with stains; I study etymology
But I never succumbed to that dirty word till I met you

Now I'm sick, keep below
I don't wanna throw you
You're sick
Now you know that I wanna know you
In this blood a sickness
You could learn to love, and I learned, too

Sell every bet on your hard horse
I won't go down
Though my knees spasm
Though I wanna grey out
And you could call me a hard horse

You're sick, keep below
I don't wanna throw you
You're sick
Now you know that I wanna know you
In this blood a sickness
You could learn to love, and I learned, too
