Thesaurus Rex - Ballad of a Horse Girl

{Verse 1}
Maddie was a horse girl
Now she works at Morgan Stanley
Her paycheck can support a family
But she still lives alone

Oh, Maddie's from the heartland
Now she lives on 34th Street
A fortress in a sea of speed freaks
So she never leaves home

But she can pay for dinner on DoorDash
And premium cable, so
She knows to be grateful
Her life's been stable

{Chorus}
Maddie is a horse girl
Maddie is a horse girl
Maddie is a horse girl

{Verse 2}
(Second verse!)
I was working brunch shifts
Trying to pay my way through grad school
In a bottomless mimosa cesspool
And Maddie's my guest
She chugs a whole carafe
She's badgering the staff for refills
For a girl her size, this dose is lethal
But she seems so depressed
(But she's so depressed)

Oh, 'cause it turns out the city
Just ain't the like the plains
So I pour her some pity
And I hand her the reins

{Chorus}
Maddie is a horse girl
Maddie is a horse girl
Maddie is a horse girl
Maddie is a horse girl
Maddie is a horse girl

{Verse 3}
But the plot thickens

That night there's a story on the news
Local woman blackout drive on half-priced booze
Trampled by a handsome cab in Central Park
And lying in the dark
She rattles through my head
Or I should say, she gallops through heart
And I'm saddled with the dread

{Chorus}
That Maddie was a horse girl
(Maddie was a horse girl)
Oh, Maddie was a horse girl
(Maddie was a horse girl)
Oh, Maddie was a horse girl
(Maddie was a horse girl)

Maddie was a horse girl
Maddie was a horse girl
(She was a horse girl, baby)
Maddie was a horse girl
Maddie was a horse girl
Maddie was a horse girl

Neigh neigh neigh! A horse girl
Neigh neigh neigh! A horse girl
Neigh neigh neigh!

Oh, Maddie was a horse girl
(Maddie was a horse girl)
Maddie was a horse girl
Maddie was a horse girl
