Many thanks friends ! hugs !

The boy was in the hallway drinking a glass of tea
From the other end of the hallway a rhythm was generating
Another boy was sliding up the hallway
He merged perfectly with the hallway,
He merged perfectly, the mirror in the hallway

The boy looked at Johnny, Johnny wanted to run,
but the movie kept moving as planned
The boy took Johnny, he pushed him against the locker,
He drove it in, he drove it home, he drove it deep in Johnny
The boy disappeared, Johnny fell on his knees,
started crashing his head against the locker,
started crashing his head against the locker,
started laughing hysterically

When suddenly Johnny gets the feeling he's being surrounded by
horses, horses, horses, horses
coming in in all directions
white shining silver studs with their nose in flames,
He saw horses, horses, horses, horses, horses, horses, horses, horses.
Do you know how to pony like bony maroney
Do you know how to twist, well it goes like this, it goes like this
Baby mash potato, do the alligator, do the alligator
And you twist the twister like your baby sister
I want your baby sister, give me your baby sister, dig your baby sister
Rise up on her knees, do the sweet pea, do the sweet pee pee,
Roll down on her back, got to lose control, got to lose control,
Got to lose control and then you take control,
Then you're rolled down on your back and you like it like that,
Like it like that, like it like that, like it like that,
Then you do the watusi, yeah do the watusi

Life is filled with holes, Johnny's laying there, his sperm coffin
Angel looks down at him and says, "Oh, pretty boy,
Can't you show me nothing but surrender ?"
Johnny gets up, takes off his leather jacket,
Taped to his chest there's the answer,
You got pen knives and jack knives and
Switchblades preferred, switchblades preferred
Then he cries, then he screams, saying
Life is full of pain, I'm cruisin' through my brain
And I fill my nose with snow and go Rimbaud,
Go Rimbaud, go Rimbaud,
And go Johnny go, and do the watusi, oh do the watusi

There's a little place, a place called space
It's a pretty little place, it's across the tracks,
Across the tracks and the name of the place is you like it like that,
You like it like that, you like it like that, you like it like that,
And the name of the band is the
Twistelettes, Twistelettes, Twistelettes, Twistelettes,
Twistelettes, Twistelettes, Twistelettes, Twistelettes

Baby calm down, better calm down,
In the night, in the eye of the forest
There's a mare black and shining with yellow hair,
I put my fingers through her silken hair and found a stair,
I didn't waste time, I just walked right up and saw that
up there -- there is a sea
up there -- there is a sea
up there -- there is a sea
the sea's the possibility
There is no land but the land
(up there is just a sea of possibilities)
There is no sea but the sea
(up there is a wall of possibilities)
There is no keeper but the key
(up there there are several walls of possibilities)
Except for one who seizes possibilities, one who seizes possibilities.
(up there)
I seize the first possibility, is the sea around me
I was standing there with my legs spread like a sailor
(in a sea of possibilities) I felt his hand on my knee
(on the screen)
And I looked at Johnny and handed him a branch of cold flame
(in the heart of man)
The waves were coming in like Arabian stallions
Gradually lapping into sea horses
He picked up the blade and he pressed it against his smooth throat
(the spoon)
And let it deep in
(the veins)
Dip in to the sea, to the sea of possibilities
It started hardening
Dip in to the sea, to the sea of possibilities
It started hardening in my hand
And I felt the arrows of desire

I put my hand inside his cranium, oh we had such a brainiac-amour
But no more, no more, I gotta move from my mind to the area
(go Rimbaud go Rimbaud go Rimbaud)
And go Johnny go and do the watusi,
Yeah do the watusi, do the watusi ...
Shined open coiled snakes white and shiny twirling and encircling
Our lives are now entwined, we will fall yes we're together twining
Your nerves, your mane of the black shining horse
And my fingers all entwined through the air,
I could feel it, it was the hair going through my fingers,
(I feel it I feel it I feel it I feel it)
The hairs were like wires going through my body
I I that's how I
that's how I
I died
(at that Tower of Babel they knew what they were after)
(they knew what they were after)
[Everything on the current] moved up
I tried to stop it, but it was too warm, too unbelievably smooth,
Like playing in the sea, in the sea of possibility, the possibility
Was a blade, a shiny blade, I hold the key to the sea of possibilities
There's no land but the land

Patti Smith is one of the best musicians ever. She rocks.

[elizabethmorgan]

I bought this album when it was released. Still have it somewhere. But it's worn out. She blew my mind w/ this.Loved Gloria, too.

[toastyroastyman]

Amazing Artist no one else touches this...NO ONE

[gregandcherie]

ironically the last time I saw my brother alive he made me sit and listen to this record as it was on vinyl in 1981, he made me listen to the lyrics, his name was John and he got I still his album

[bonniemagpie]

This is just too great.
Pattie is Capricorn ♑ born during the year of The Dog🐕as was Elvis Presley.They both grew up with deep Spiritual interests but Patti was more gifted to write her own materials.

[wolfil]

Patti Smith's weaving of music and poetry is a most brilliant magic.

[Eduardo.J.Gasparini.]

This is Patti Smith at her best. A sonorous beat and impressive lyrics. Bravo!👏👏👏

[mythicsin]

I saw Patti back in 77....it was amazing....she was tough as hell too

[mediathequeperigny]

That bass line beginning at 0:54, always makes me chill !

[HOWARDSKI]

[rikkiking]

So well put together. 40 years on and still love Horses. So moving

[jeanpelletier]

At 65 years old I still listen to her same as I did way back then

[minalove]

Wow. I’m lost for words. I listened to this for the first time today and I was taken up and then back down but the whole time sitting and at the end my heart is racing. That was incredible.

[kof]

A important piece of history tis one, 1975 Horses made a difference - and I was 19 and had just bought my first dr Martins in London :)

[janeguarnera]

She was an integral part of maintaining my sanity as a young female growin' up in America....I just walked right up!

[caesarblack]

Discovered this song while binge watching Ray Donovan, name of the episode is the same as the song.
That was a powerful episode!

Loving this song!

[susanhavens]

I heard this song on the radio in 1975. It took me a while to find out who Patti Smith is but I doggedly pursued and then success. Loyal fan ever since. There is no one else like her. Truest goddess of Rock and roll. She's still going in her 70s now. I bow to the Queen of

[anthonydyson]

I heard a few of her songs years ago but I was too young to remember the song titles and her name. Years later, I'm watching Millennium season 2 finalè, and this song was playing. Looked it up and recognised some of her other titles. Thank You Chris Carter and Lance Henriksen.

[panchavilla]

Self expression, art, and beauty pulled me your way Patti. I haven't looked back since👊🖤👊

[linda]

I heard this song when I watched the tv show MIllennium and it was in the second season when Lara Means lost her mind. I couldn't get over the lovely song. So I came here and this is what I heard. Love this so much.
