Restless Year

[Doo-Wop Refrain] [Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] Restless year It was another restless year It was a restless year For a while we had no fear [Verse 2] Yeah, bloody nose in the all night diner Rolling with Rose and Miss Mariel Steiner You can't pin her down, you can't define her Dostoevsky, dime store copy [Doo-Wop Refrain] [Verse 3] 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 [Bridge] (Death!) Is my former employer (Death!) Is my own Tom Sawyer (Death!) Waits for me to destroy her I never wanna die and I never grow older yeah [Doo-Wop Refrain] [Chorus] Restless year It was another restless year It was a restless year Don't tell me anything I don't want to hear
