I've been calling up my friends in droves Looking for a shoulder I'm tired of it all, but who knows When it'll be over? I've been strumming in this empty room Till I wore the chords down I've been doing everything I can But it just won't work out They won't see me coming around They won't see me coming around They won't see me coming around I wanna be the dark horse I wanna be the dark horse, oo I wanna be the dark horse, oo I wanna be the dark horse ♪ We've all gotta bear our cross Don't we know it? I've been twiddling my thumbs too long What's to show for it? I miss the songbird shot down In a bolt of lightning Like the sun gone behind the clouds Darkened morning They won't see me coming around They won't see me coming around They won't see me coming around I wanna be the dark horse, oo I wanna be the dark horse, oo I wanna be the dark horse, oo I wanna be the dark horse, oo ♪ They won't see me coming around They won't see me coming around If you wanna feel a shake in the ground Help me get the vote out, oo Help me get the vote out, oo I'm gonna be the dark horse, oo I'm gonna be the dark horse, oo
