We galloped into the night

verse 2
There was this horse
with a big fat mouth
that swallowed all my friends
so I went in to rescue them
and we started over again
Chorus
There's a bass solo over the chord progression from the verses, then the drummer messes
up and they start the song over before playing the next part. (listed as "The Day I Was
A Horse (Again))
Chorus
verse 3
well it got kinda freaky
I was fine I was cheeky
I was rolling round again
I felt real strange
wanted everything to change
hoping this nightmare would end.
