What a stormy night, when I met the pony,
It was so dark, that I could hardly see,
It smelled so sweet, you know who and Joanie,
So many butterflies, one could not see...
We all could feel desire, took off in flight,
It was hotter than fire, then came the light.
I smell the heat, the dancing ponies,
Unwrapped his wings, to dry off Joanie,
The pony he grew in size, the thunder and rain,
And finally realized, what was, what it does, and what it come to say.
Love to kiss the cheek of mother nature, nobody here can deni such things,
Make the ladies you love come honey, no butterfly should be denied its wings...
He was kick ass rocking horse! He was like a hell bent tied to the Gavin pole,
He was a one time fantasy, I got the bare bones riding to the Holy Land,
Bare backed, riding like a running man, nightmares,
And he can't hold the candle to my dreams!
We rode the night, and took to wing, it was so all right, it was everything,
We flew into burning skies, the thunder and rain, and finally realized,
What it is, what it does, and what it come to say!
No, no, no, no, took off in flight,
No, no, no, no, then came the light.
Flashback, somethings coming over me, no sweat one time fanatsy.
Bare bones all in the wind it seems, hell, who's the chick,
That rides into my dreams?
No Libury,
No stablize,
No one try to please,
Nobody's eyes.
We'll never see us again, tell me when it passed,
Let it all begin, but all of that time, somebody shot an arrow...
Being tempted by the time is never,
Breaking me cause your cold sometimes...
Being seduced by your own pleasures,
Being king on your own time...
He was a kick ass rocking horse, he was a...
One horn, unicornucopia,
Two, two in utopia,
Three star, verge in to infinity,
Four, four, ya... yaa hoo...

    @artgirl2012 I think it is a reference to the Gavin Report, which was an important music trade publication at the time. So being tied to the the Gavin poll (pole) was a measurement of professional success, as well as a sexual double entendre.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
