I can't control this flesh and blood 
That's wrapped around my bones 
It moves beneath me like a river 
Into the great unknown 
 
I stepped onto the moving stairs 
Before I could tie my shoes 
Pried a harp out the fingers of a renegade 
Who lived and died the blues 
 
And his promise made was never clear 
It just carved itself in me 
All I saw was frost inside my head 
On the night he said to me 
 
Someday we'll live like horses 
Free rein from your old iron fences 
There's more ways than one to regain your senses 
Break out the stalls and we'll live like horses 
 
We're the victims of the heartbreak 
That kept us short of breath 
Trapped above these bloodless streets 
Without a safety net 
 
I stood in line to join the trial 
One more customer of fate 
Claimed a spoke in the wheel of the wagon train 
On the road to the golden gate 
 
On the flat cracked desert I jumped ship 
It just made sense to me 
I've spent too long in the belly of the beast 
And now I shall be free 
 
[Duet with Luciano Pavarotti:] 
 
I can't control this flesh and blood 
That's wrapped around my bones 
It moves beneath me like a river 
Into the great unknown 
 
I stepped onto the moving stairs 
Before I could tie my shoes 
Pried a harp out the fingers of a renegade 
Who lived and died the blues 
 
La promessa non fu chiara 
S'erra solo impressa in me 
Vidi solo il gelo dentro me 
Quella notte dise a me 
 
Vivrem comme cavalli 
Liberi dai recinti di ferro 
Che piu non voglio 
Rinnegare i sensi 
Su dai fuggiam 
Vivrem comme cavalli 
 
We're the victims of the heartbreak 
That kept us short of breath 
Trapped above these bloodless streets 
Without a safety net 
 
I stood in line to join the trial 
One more customer of fate 
Claimed a spoke in the wheel of the wagon train 
On the road to the golden gate 
 
Nel deserto la nave abbandonai 
Per me aveva senso 
Son stato troppo tempo nella bestia 
Ed ora saro libero 
 
Someday We'll live like horses 
Free reign from your old iron fences 
There's more ways than one to regain your senses 
Break out the stalls and we'll live like horses 
Someday 
 
Liberi dai ricenti di ferro 
Che piu non voglio 
Rinnegare i sensi 
Su dai fuggiam 
Vivrem comme cavalli
