I Told You I Couldn't Stop

(앨범: Seeing Things - 2008)

In my mind's eye
A plantation
In the clearing is a platform station
In the distance
Is a kingdom
Into the front line is how I'm coming
They say in war
All is fair
I'm headed to the field
In spite of my condition

Whatever you thought
Whatever you thought
You know I told you
I couldn't stop
I couldn't stop

Now through the desert
Out to the sea
Weather-beaten through all four seasons
Now there is love
In my creation
I've come back
For all the right reasons
I ain't your castle
You're not a queen
It isn't yours that you're so busy there protecting

Whatever you thought
Whatever you thought
You know I told you
I couldn't stop

Whatever you thought
Whatever you thought
You know I told you
I couldn't stop
I couldn't stop

All this beauty
I'll stick you sweet
This naughty world is due for a good a deed
Give me your poor
Your tired huddled masses
Bring me the head of a mule in my glasses
Sing that lonesome high melody
Now rumble your men
The horror behind me

Whatever you thought
Whatever you thought
You know I told you
I couldn't stop

Whatever you thought
Whatever you thought
You know I told you
I couldn't stop
I couldn't stop
I couldn't stop
I couldn't stop
