Charioteer Lyrics by Shirley Hurt

Shirley Hurt

2022

[Intro]
They said when I was twenty five, I would expire
Burst into flames atop the pyre
Instead, I stand there in Bombay Beneath the arches
You say "I hope you're doing good"
I know that you got this
As I take the stage
[Verse 1]
You know how I hate
To have to address my steps
Howling at the moon
Pouncing on your confidence
[Chorus]
Are you the horse?
Are you the carriage?
Are you the wheel?
Are you the baggage?
Are you the armrest, my dear?
You are my charioteer
You are my charioteer
[Verse 2]
When you met me
I was really going through it
If you let me
I would like to explain my predicament
The best that I can, given the state I'm in
Memories waterlog my mind
When you looked at me
For the very first time it was a remedy
From what must be a past life
[Chorus]
Are you the yoke?
Are you the axle?
Are you the pole?
Are you the saddle?
Are you the harness, my dear?
You are my charioteer
You are my charioteer
[Verse 3]
Last night I had the most unnerving dream
I run toward the sunset but a rock confronts my feet
I trip hard and by the time I get up, it's dark
I tiptoe in the opposite direction
In the corner of my eye, I see a reflection
When I turn and face the music, it's immaculate conception
And a melody plays, but who is the musician?
[Chorus]
Are you the horse?
Are you the carriage?
Are you the wheel?
Are you the baggage?
Are you the armrest, my dear?
Are you the yoke?
Are you the axle?
Are you the pole?
Are you the saddle?
Are you the harness, my dear?
You are my charioteer
You are my charioteer
You are my charioteer
