That you're using the anointing oil like it's sacramental beer
And I don't run unless you try to chase me
And I don't fight unless I'm cornered or I'm after what I want
What that is I wish that I could say
Don't got to learn a damn thing, part of being free
You have to look to yourself
But I'm just trying to grab at the reins
And I don't leave until you offer me a stay
And I may struggle, I may complain
And I don't leave until you offer me a stay
And I won't fight unless I'm cornered or I'm after what I want
And don't blame heaven or hell
Confuses up the point until you're numb enough to hear
And I don't fight unless I'm cornered or I'm after what I want
If you blink you shall not fare
So forgive me or forget you
And if I'm wondering where to go
I don't run unless you try to chase me
But should you get the chance try to make for the fence
And I don't leave unless you offer me a stay
If you think you cannot bear
Believe me life won't let you
And the cleverest ones get to be real old
It's my feet but it's their race
And nobody else will lift a light to make you see
It's a subtle dance we do to stay in from the cold
And I don't run unless you try to chase me
What that is I wish that I could say
And I realize, when I buck my place
What that is I wish that I could say
