I can’t settle down With the cracking sound Of broken bonds still ringing in my head Laughter stops stomach knots No one wins the mountain top The steel gets tired of the rust and folds Never in control History does not disappear or get old Let me get this straight it’s all around and written off As a life expense Nothing can come in between, I will not pretend Where I am and where I’ve been, I will not pretend That everything is permanent 1923, 25, 29 and feeling fine Trying not to shake the kid Holding on underneath for dear life The quiet whispers close to my ears are getting hard to hear Drown out by the sound And lights of nice quiet normal successful life Let me get this straight it’s all around and written off As a life expense Nothing can come in between, I will not pretend What I love and who I am, I will not pretend That everything is permanent I couldn’t finish what I started It scared the shit out of me I couldn’t finish what I started Observing history I couldn’t finish what I started
