The chains from the bridle and the reins fell from my hands    The engines are idle and the ship sails on dry land    I stood there stupefied, I thought I recognized    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 you'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 gateposts    And the 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    Well you were the one that made your escape    In your stocking feet and your sticky tape       All the way down (repeat to fade)
