She breaks her horses With strange distant voices That travel through the air They travel through the air She tames with her voices As she plays around with the forces That travel through the air They travel through the air Ooh the distant howling out Keeps you floating around Oh distant howling out Forces floating around She breaks her horses With strange distant voices That travel through the air They travel through the air
