Lyrics
she put 900 dollars
on the fifth horse
in the sixth race
i think his name was chips ahoy.
came in six lengths ahead
we spent the whole next week getting high
at first i thought that she hit it
on some tip that she got from some other boy.
we were overjoyed.
i got a girl and she don't have to work
she can tell which horse is gonna finish in first
some nights the painkillers make the pain even worse
came in six lengths ahead
we spent the whole next week getting high
i love this girl but i cant tell when she's having a good time.
How am I supposed to know that you're high
if you wont let me touch you?
How am i supposed to know that you're high
if you wont even dance?
shes hard on the heart
shes soft to the touch
she gets migrane headaches
when she does it too much.
she always does it too much.
How am I supposed to know that you're high
if you wont let me touch you?
How am I supposed to know that you're high
if you won't even dance?
and you won't even dance.

"This song is about a guy, a girl and a horse" - Craig Finn at Cardiff Point, 25th August 2007.
"It's been trivialised a little bit, since it's the chorus of the song, but I still maintain that is a reasonable question" - Craig Finn at Shepherd's Bush Empire, July 2007.
