In my mind's eye
A plantation
In the clearing
Is a platform station
Into the frontline
Is how I'm coming
They say in war
All is fair
I am headed
To the fields
In spite
Of my condition

(Chorus)
Whatever you thought
Whatever you thought
You know I told you
That I couldn't stop
Whatever you thought
Whatever you thought
You know I told you
That I couldn't stop

Through the desert
Out to the sea
Weather-beaten through
All four seasons
There is love
In my creation
I've come back
For all
The right reason
That ain't your castle
You're not a queen
That isn't yours
You're so busy
There protecting

(Chorus)

All this beauty's
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 man
But rumble behind me

(Chorus)
