about

The last and sixth track on Elroy Meltzer’s third studio album, “Resetting Sun”. “DTAPZ” aka Racehorse is a raunchy little number about drug addiction and gambling and just having a swell old time.

lyrics

Got you Strung up high, you’re a Deadbeat racehorse
Not the running kind but certainly trotting Tuesday’s thru Thursday’s
Well you lost the race consistent season
Made a laugh but stuffed in a truck this evening
Don’t you fold those knees at the sight of God, Got those horse shoes thrown round another rod
Don’t I know, Know I don’t, well you’re lying in a river but a river don’t seem to flow
It’s a bathroom date for some deadbeat junkie
Found a ticket he could cash, placed on the one and only
It’s a grip of hope with some sawed down fingers
Barely hold a rope for your neck or whatever’s left of a conscious
Don’t you find truth until the final frame
Had a good tip that you shot away
Don’t you know, Know you don’t, still lying in a river but a river don’t seem too flow, and you’re hard to press for what you call a miracle, selling teeth to get a little close.
Don’t We know!
Don’t we know fate’s got some grand design, you’re a betting kid but you’re betting blind.
Don’t you know, Know you don’t, well you’re lying in a river but a river don’t seem to flow and you’re hard to press for what you call a miracle. Don’t I know.h
Well you’re all strung up, you’re a Deadbeat racehorse
