Lyrics

Dark Horse

I am the dark horse
Seldom unforeseen
I am the dark horse
A bitter memory

Well you heard about me in your nightmares
And you dreamt about me in your dreams
I could be your greatest lover
I could be your worst enemy
I am the dark horse baby
I ain't what I seem

Did they make you hand yourself over
Did they make you clip your wings
I'm rising from the ashes
Causing quite the scene

Cause you heard about me in your nightmares
And you dreamt about me in your dreams
I could be your grеatest lover
I could be your worst еnemy
I am the dark horse baby
I ain't what i seem
Well you heard about me in your nightmares
And you dreamt about me in your dreams
I could be your greatest lover
I could be your worst enemy
I am the dark horse baby
I ain't what i seem
