The chains from the bridle and the reins fell from my hands

And the engines are idle and the ship sails on dry land

I stood there stupified; I thought I recognize

Walking down Rocking Horse Road...getting lost



Shot through vaseline, he picks up the paper from the lawn

And tucks the suburban assassin underneath his arm

He smiles weakly and turns away; I know I'll never come to harm

Walking 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

Crying on Rocking Horse Road...or somewhere quite like it



The cemetery gardens, there are names not numbers on the gate posts

And 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



Where you were the one, who made your escape

In your stocking feet and your sticky tape

All the way down (x5)

Now walking down Rocking Horse...

Rockin', Rockin', Rockin' Horse
