Restless Year

I set up camp in the center of town Ready for freedom when it all comes down Snapping my fingers, walking around I'm the dusty jewel in the thrown-out crown Got a bus pass to make my way From hideout to hideout in the heat of the day I got a talisman tote with the whole array And when you catch my coat tails I'll be miles away Restless year It was another restless year It was a restless year For a while we had no fear Yeah, nobody knows in the all night diner Rolling with Rose and Miss Mary L. Steiner You can't pin her down, you can't define her Dostoevsky, dime store copy Making the rounds in my five dollar dress I can't go home, though I'm not homeless I'm just another savage in the wilderness And if you can't calm down you can listen to this (Death!) Is my former employer (Death!) Is my own Tom Sawyer (Death!) Waits for me to destroy her I never wanna die and I'll never grow older yeah Restless year It was another restless year It was a restless year Don't tell me anything I don't want to hear --- Restless Year - Ezra Furman
