Lyrics
Enchanted by the panic
I wish I was simple
Plain like the rain
Runnin’ right down the middle
Everything inside me was hot
Everything inside me wasn’t plain
I was lookin’ everywhere for the man
Everybody told me I could blame
But I gotta keep-a movin’
Keep movin’ on
‘Cause staying still could kill me and you
If we wait for too long
Yeah, I gotta keep-a movin’
Keep movin’ on
Almost every night, somethin’ ain’t right
But I don’t know what’s wrong, yeah
Sail me out of this hell, Virgil
They poisoned the well
And I can’t drink here now
Saint Steve Irwin, I’m a child
And I’m certain them are wild crocodiles
Won’t you choke them out?
Everything I’d ever seen
Was piled high into a dream
I was afraid I would forget
But I remember everything
So I gotta keep-a movin’
Keep movin’ on
‘Cause staying still could kill me and you
If we wait for too long
Yeah, I gotta keep-a movin’
Keep movin’ on
Almost every night somethin’ ain’t right
And I don’t know what’s wrong
Yeah, I can work this out
I can fight through the pain
I can see a light at the end of the tunnel
Then again it could be the train
Yeah, I can work this out
Nothing’s holdin’ me back
There’s hope on the horizon
Or maybe the Earth’s just flat
Nostalgia on a rope bridge and swaying to dementia
That’s the tune that they were playin’
I coulda swore somebody laughed
As we were leaving Pangaea
I had a nice enough time
Things were fine
I guess I’ll see ya when I see ya
‘Cause I gotta keep-a movin’
Keep movin’ on
‘Cause staying still could kill me and you
If we wait for too long
Yeah, I gotta keep-a movin’
Keep movin’ on
Almost every night somethin’ ain’t right
But I don’t know what’s wrong
Yeah, I can work this out
I can fight through the pain
I can see a light at the end of the tunnel
Then again, it could be the train
Yeah, I can work this out
Nothing’s holdin’ me back
There’s hope on the horizon
Or maybe the Earth’s just flat
Yeah, I can work this out
I can fight through the pain
I can see a light at the end of the tunnel
Then again it could be the train
Yeah, I can work this out
Nothing’s holdin’ me back
There’s hope on the horizon
Or maybe the Earth’s just flat
I wish I was simple
Plain like the rain
