Horse's Mouth
Edie Brickell
Well, it's been going on long as I can remember
Somebody talking bout ol so n so and
Next thing you know, it gets repeated like it's gospel
When it got started by someone who does not know
If you don't hear it from the horse's mouth
You're hearing it from a horse's ass
It's a temptation when I hear a story like that
I have to meditate to keep my mouth shut
And it's like wrestling a bear to keep it quiet
I want to run and jump and tell somebody but
If you don't hear it from the horse's mouth
You're hearing it from a horse's ass
There's a dog on the bed getting caught in the act
Spider weaving a web for a snake in the grass
If you don't hear it from the horse's mouth
You're hearing it from a horse's ass
