I Told You I Couldn't Stop Lyrics

Oh, 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 comingThey say in war all is fair
I am headed to the field
In spite of my conditionWhatever you thought
Whatever you thought
You know I told you
I couldn't stop, I couldn't stopThrough the desert, out to the sea
Weather beaten through all four seasons
And there is love in my creation
I've come back for all the right reasonsThat ain't your castle
You're not a queen, that isn't yours
That you're so busy there protectingWhatever you thought
Whatever you thought
You know I told you
I couldn't stopWhatever you thought
Whatever you thought

You know I told you
I couldn't stop, I couldn't stopAll this beauty is sticky sweet
This naughty world is due for a good deed
Give me your poor tired huddled masses
Bring me the head of a mule and my glassesSing that lonesome high melody
Rumble young men
But hobble behind meWhatever you thought
Whatever you thought
You know I told you
I couldn't stopWhatever 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
