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 coming
They say in war all is fair I am 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
Through 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 reasons
That ain't your castle You're not a queen, that 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 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 glasses
Sing that lonesome high melody Rumble young men But hobble 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
