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 tryin' to be a good girl 
And give 'em what they want 
But Margery's dreaming of horses 

Lookin' 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 

Margie 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
