lyrics

I had a dream that I was floating above everything
Even though my feet were on the ground
I had a dream that I could speak the things that always seemed to wait
on the tip of my tongue

There’s a weight, there’s a wall
And I won’t stop for no one

And all the lists of things I swore I’d do before my time was up
were already done or started
And all the birds that were afraid of me for things I onced did
Said forgiven and forgotten

There’s a weight, there’s a wall
And I won’t stop for no one

I wanna live inside a space where all the patterns and the shapes
make up the sounds of words
And possibly I could believe the kind of things astrology
Prints in the magazines

There’s a weight, there’s a wall
And I won’t stop for no one

All the stories that my mind told myself at parties
I realize now that it’s the roots and not the garden
So I took a little pill to get myself sorted
Isn’t it a thrilling thing to be true and honest

And with a force the wind obeyed and glazed the face of frozen lakes
On a winter morning
And every single thing I wondered about my biology
Became subsequently boring

The clouds just hung around
But I’m not gonna stop for anyone
Here I go

There’s a weight, there’s a wall
And I won’t stop for no one
