I Told You I Couldn't Stop

In my mind's eye a plantation In the clearing is a platform station In the distance is a kingdom Into the frontline is how I'm coming They say in war all is fair I am headed to the fields In spite of my condition (Chorus) Whatever you thought Whatever you thought You know I told you That I couldn't stop Whatever you thought Whatever you thought You know I told you That I couldn't stop Through the desert out to the sea Weather-beaten through all four seasons There is love in my creation I've come back for all the right reason That ain't your castle You're not a queen That isn't yours You're so busy there protecting (Chorus) All this beauty's sticky sweet This naughty world is due for a good deed Give me your poor tired huddled ma*ses Bring me the head of a mule and my gla*ses Sing that lonesome high melody Rumble young man but rumble behind me (Chorus)
