Written with the help of #TrashDaisy! and sixpack of sinusitis.
I bet your mama don't know where you been playin
House rules and safe words you know what I'm sayin
Vinyl and zippers and ruby red s lippers
We can cut your hair with these wireless clippers
You can ride the horse if you promise to get off
You can ride the horse if you promise to get off
There's fire in the dollhaus all the doors will be locked
You can ride the horse if you promise, promise to get off
Jungle drums beating to the pulse of your heart
Mannequin hanging like a work of modern art
Corset and dress let me make up your face
Maybe you can come from the thrust of the bass
You can ride the horse if you promise to get off
You can ride the horse if you promise to get off
There's fire in the dollhaus all the doors will be locked
You can ride the horse if you promise, promise to get off
Maybe it's all been a dream
for a boy in pastels
with a girl running free
Take my hand
to a distant meadowland
in the end there's only you and me
You can ride the horse if you promise to get off
You can ride the horse if you promise to get off
There's fire in the dollhaus all the doors will be locked
You can ride the horse if you promise, promise to get off

spanking gut! did I hear a sprinkling of German accent? extremely appropriate.
dreamy middle too!
80s would be proud, but of course this sort of fun is timeless ;)

Pete Murphy sent me here. And thank fuck he did. The bridge, sure… but the main groove is where it’s at. I just love how this song laced with so many interesting layers, makes for repeat listening!

This is some awesome funky fun! The chorus is infectious and the bridge quite lovely. I'm dancing in my chair, but I need to get and move to this. Going to play this again :)
@chrisshepard Feb 2022
I was going to play this and casually listen while I checked my email, but I was stuck here reading lyrics and listening to every note, the harmony bridge... That triple-entendre chorus is catchy and full of attitude.
@petemurphy Feb 2022
This is farcking brilliant. The dirty funk abounds, but also... that bridge tho.
@nancycunning Feb 2022
I remember this song. Didn't they play it on MTV that first week it came on TV??? Nice collaboration.
@makers8 Feb 2022
That bridge/breakdown is so cool! I'm gonna dance to this song forever
@brucebutkovich Feb 2022
"Maybe you can come from the thrust of the bass" ...best line ever
@teebyrd Feb 2022
So good! Huge hook and love the vocal fx on chorus. I dig a bridge takes you to another place for a minute. Now excuse while I listen again and boogie fiendishly.
@carleybaer Feb 2022
There it is! It’s everything I imagined it would be. Makes me want to go to an 80s night somewhere.
@enzo Feb 2022
i will promise no such thing! you put me on that thing, I’m staying!
@carleybaer Feb 2022
I want to hear this so bad.
