Into the Light (Breaking Horses)

Composer Dave Pirner
Length 3:58

Lyrics

Once you've rolled the dice, you can't think twice
Because you would never take your own advice
You're skating on a grave that's paved with ice
You step into the light

I want to be sure, this is a sure thing
And not some tangled up puppeteer's strings
Once you’ve crossed the line
Stepping into

Breaking horses, raising Cain
Headed for the hills
The best day ever just got better
It gets better still

So if you're out tonight pick me up
Everybody hates being alone
Take me to a place that no one knows
Step into the light

How can I be sure this is a sure thing?
Not some puppet on a string
Because once you've crossed the line You're chasing out the light

Breaking horses, raising Cain
Headed for the hills
The best day ever just got better
It gets better still

So if you're out tonight, pick me up
You're running out on

Chasing sirens, red lights change
No time left to kill
Waving flags of fine drawn lines
Find a cheaper thrill

I want to be sure this is a sure thing
Because once you've drawn the line
You step into the light
Step into the light

Breaking horses raising Cain
Headed for the hills
The best day ever just got better
It gets better still
Waving flags of fine draw lines
Lines drawn in the sand
