i got me some horses
to ride on
to ride on
they say that your demons
can't go there
so i got me some horses
to ride on
to ride on
as longs as your army
keeps perfectly still
and maybe i'll find me a sailor
a tailor
and maybe together
we'll make mother well
so i got me some horses
to ride on
to ride on
as long as your army
keeps perfectly still
you showed me the meadow
and milkwood
and silkwood
and you would if i would
but you never would
so i chased down your posies
your pansies in my hosies
then opened my hands
and they were empty then

off with superfly
sniffing a sharpie pen
honey it's bill and ben
off with superfly
counting your bees
oh me honey like
one two three
the camera is rolling
it's easy like

one
two
three
and if there is a way to find you
i will find you
but will you find me if neil
makes me a tree
an afro a pharoah
i can't go
you said so
and threads that are golden don't break easily

"The record [Boys For Pele] begins with the horses from Winter coming back to take me on this journey and we ride and go find the demons..."
-- Tori; Making Music, Jan 1996

"It's as if the horses have come to take us back, to descend, to find the dark side. By dark I mean what's hidden, not necessarily satanic."
-- Tori; Billboard, 01/13/96

"It was a church in Delgany. And they had built this structure where I would go into and there were holes in the structure...only holes that would fit the keys of the B�sey and the double manual of the harpsichord and everything else was sealed up...except my pedals of course came in but everything around them...it was sealed, so that the sound...again, the instruments could work completely off the ambiance of the church and my vocal wasn't drivin' down those microphones. So I knew that "Horses" was coming and I knew that I had to get a Leslie, so finally this rickety-rackety thing gets brought in, and we had to put it out in the graveyard because we couldn't fit it anywhere in the church without it interfering so they miced it up in the graveyard and they had little blankets over the mic cause of the wind and the rain. And Beauty Queen and Horses came in one take. It was all done as you hear it, live with the pedal of the Leslie."
-- Tori; The World Caf� WXPN, Mar 1, 1996

"You dream of this when you�re a little kid.... You wish you could play with people you can marvel at, and I�m lucky enough to have that opportunity. I�m also hearing some of the old songs transform. I�m doing songs from the other records, like a trance version of Horses."
-- Tori; Detroit Free Press, Apr 28, 1998

"Sometimes, it's like, 'No, I want a Leslie. Where are we gonna put it?' The techs go, 'We're gonna put it in the graveyard cause there's no place else.' Does it matter that it's raining and the wind is blowing 50 m.p.h.? No! We get blankets. We put the Neumanns under the blankets. They put the Leslie out in the graveyard and we roll tape, and that's what's on Horses."
-- Tori; Modern Rock Live, Feb 4, 1996
