I Told You I Couldn't StopIn my mind's eyeA 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 |
