Story behind the song
If at first you don't succeed..?
Sans multitrack original and Artificial Intelligence (AI), engineer Jay Mark indulged my compulsion to attempt to salvage, online produce and re-edit this vintage recording of an atypical rocker of mine.
Lyrics
Are you tired
of playing with fire?
Must you burn at both ends or burn out?
Are you wired
from playing for higher stakes?
Your time's running out
You used to take it
to keep you awake
Now you take it to keep you alive
Or you shake
till you look like you'll break into pieces
Your time has arrived
So you shiver
You cry me a river
You dive in your bottle and drown
What I'd give
for a reason to live for
to give you to bring you around
I'm no martyr
I've nothing to barter
but time if you're willing to try
You're too smart
not to know it gets harder
But it seems like you're willing to die
Ride the white horse
It will not get you far
Ride the white horse
It leaves you where you are
Ride the white horse
along the beaten track
Ride the white horse
It cannot take you back
from the danger zone
Scrap what remains your own
Ride the white horse out of town
Run it into the ground
Do you fear
a look in this mirror
will doom you to life on the shelf?
Are they clear
the lines on your weary face?
You drew them yourself
You used to tell me you knew yourself well
Now you tell me you're perfectly fine
while you sell
what remains of the shell of your body
You're losing your mind
Ride the white horse
It will not get you far
Ride the white horse
It leaves you where you are
Ride the white horse
along the beaten track
Ride the white horse
It cannot take you back
from the danger zone
Scrap what remains your own
Ride the white horse out of town
Run it into the ground
Ride the white horse
It will not get you far
Ride the white horse
It leaves you where you are
Ride the white horse
along the beaten track
Ride the white horse
It cannot take you back
