In my mind's eye A plantation In the clearing Is a platform station In the distance Is a kingdom In to the front line Is how I'm coming They saw in war All is fair I'm heading 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 Now 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 I aint your castle You're not a queen It 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 good deeds Give me your poor Your tired masses Bring me the head Of the mule in my glasses Sing that lonesome high melody Roamin young man The horror 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
