cowboy can t tell that everything is swell even though he fell of his horse the horse is healthy of course it s ready to ride but cowboy s way too preoccupied he saw a snake in the trail it was chewing its own tail cowboy sat down in the dirt teardrops were staining his shirt they were mixing into mud with the dust but he didn t really care cause he trusts his horse to keep a secret it s a big one this is what he said listen up horse this is how i feel everything is really bad but i m worse i can t help but feeling like the first human that ate a neanderthal i swung the club that crushed her skull and in the process damned us all and every baby ever born has borne the taint of my ancient sin but i was smiling while i chewed that dimwits skin it was all me i m bad history i burnt down rome and chicago too i shook the earth and i blew the wind that made you hide i am the rising tide that was all he had to say the horse responded neigh
