My sister Sue and me were doing stunts with electric trains

She said she'd do my dishes, so I handed her the reins

And she engineered a collision steered by a hand-eye protege

Before my train set started burning I heard my sister say



Look straight at the coming disaster

Realize what you've lost

You keep handing out horseshoes

Horseshoes have gotta be tossed.



I dreamed I went to heaven 'cause I told my lover lies

When I woke up I went to her and looked her in the eyes

I said "help me cry, 'cause I can't deny this union's feeling wrong"

Then a flshback to the dream and angels singing songs



Look straight at the coming disaster

Realize what you've lost

You keep handing out horseshoes

Horseshoes have gotta be tossed

Horseshoes have gotta be tossed.



Don't push the river; if you love it, set it free

I said "go on and see him, you can still come home to me"

I was satisfied, God was on our side

'Cause we're freer than the birds.

Sent me a letter. I didn't read it.

I already knew the words



Look straight at the coming disaster

Realize what you've lost

You keep handing out horseshoes

Horseshoes have gotta be tossed.
