I Can't Settle
Eyes wide in the dance hall, backstage, trembling
Beer soaked timber floor boards, outsider in the ring I'm alone
Lying here in my bunk bed, I'm just watching TV
I got no one I can talk to, just my company I'm alone
The way water moves in a boiling kettle
The spirit horse rides the plains
The wind blows the shimmering petal
I can't settle
I've had many chances, but I'm hard wired, stubborn and slow
I've turned down those advances, waiting for what I don't know
I'm alone
The way water moves in a boiling kettle
The spirit horse rides the plains
Like wind blows the shimmering petals
I can't settle
Like the distress signals in my head
Like the moments of genius that keep me off the ledge
Like the fly banging on the window pane
Do you see what I see
Do you feel the way I do
I see cruelty, greed and injustice We can't settle, not me and you, we're not alone
The way water moves in a boiling kettle
The spirit horse rides the plains
Like a wind blows the shimmering petals In the campfire I'm the dancing flame Like the ragged, tattered, ceaseless, spinning, rusted weathervane
I can't settle
