Restless Year

Ooh la ooohhh
Sing like a Ooh la ooohhh...

[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 a dusty jewel in the throne I've found(?)
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]
It was a restless year
It was another restless year
It was a restless year
For a while we had no fear(?)

[Verse 2]
Yeah, nobody knows in the all night diner
Rolling with Rodes and Miss Mary L. Steiner
You can't pin her down, you can't define her
Dostoevsky, dime store copy

[Refrain]
Ooh la ooohhh...

[Verse 3]
Making my rounds in my five dollar dress
I can't go home, no 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 want to die and I never grow older yeahhh

[Refrain]
Ooh la ooohhh...

[Chorus]
Restless year
It was another restless year
It was a restless year
Don't tell me anything I don't want to hear
