Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
The others at the table had become silent
And they were trying to hear
Watching the shadow with a half-cocked intent
Listening look, that you can see at every round
Those slightly open lips, open lips
[Pre-Chorus]
It comes to all of them
All of them, all of them
It comes to all of them
All of them, all of them
[Chorus]
While they are hearing
Something straight from the horse's mouth
While they are hearing
Something straight from the horse's mouth
[Verse 2]
Thosе slightly open lips
The upstretchеd eyebrows, the head forward
And curiously a little to one side
That desperately straining half-hypnotized
Gazing look, gazing look
[Pre-Chorus]
It comes to all of them
All of them, all of them
It comes to all of them
All of them, all of them
[Chorus]
While they are hearing
Something straight from the horse's mouth
While they are hearing
Something straight from the horse's mouth
[Instrumental Break]
[Pre-Chorus]
It comes to all of them
All of them, all of them
It comes to all of them
All of them, all of them
[Chorus]
While they are hearing
Something straight from the horse's mouth
While they are hearing
Something straight from the horse's mouth
[Bridge]
But obviously
They never repeat
Never ever
Understood at all
[Pre-Chorus]
It comes to all of them
All of them, all of them
It comes to all of them
All of them, all of them
[Chorus]
(So he walked away carefully) While they are hearing
(Over the swaying floor, between the other tables) Something straight from the horse's mouth
(Back among the empty chairs) While they are hearing
(Out through the open door) Something straight from the horse's mouth
