Lyrics for A Raindance in Traffic
I'm fanaticizing about doing a raindance in traffic I'm fanaticizing about a storm to wash me away Well, If you'd study the laugh lines, you'd see that I'm cracking But I spent six months now feeling like dead weight The fighter in me must've died a long time ago I must've been watching his ghost Just going through the motions (whoa, whoa) Just putting on a face (whoa, whoa) Oh, it feels like 1929, and I'm on the verge Of a great collapse today Every window in this house faces a brick wall And I'm panicked and absent like a bird in a cage Well, the word from the front lines says that we're out-gunned But I can't walk away, no, I can't walk away, no, I can't The fighter in me must've died a long time ago I must've been watching his ghost Just going through the motions (whoa, whoa) Just putting on a face (whoa, whoa) Oh, it feels like 1929, and I'm on the verge Of a great collapse today And I was just happy to be a contender And I was just aching for anything And I used to have such steady hands But now I can't keep 'em from shaking I was just happy to be a contender I was just aching for anything And I used to have such steady hands But now I can't keep 'em from shaking Can't keep 'em from shaking (I was just happy to be a contender) I can't keep 'em from shaking (I was just aching for anything) I can't keep 'em from shaking (I used to have such) I can't keep 'em from shaking (steady hands) (I used to have such) can't keep 'em from shaking (Steady hands) can't keep 'em from shaking
