And if I take a different tack 
Well then forgive me if the long way round 
Confuses up the point until you're numb enough to hear 
That you're using the anointing oil like it's sacramental beer 

And don't blame heaven or hell 
You have to look to yourself 
And nobody else will lift a light to make you see 
Don't got to learn a damn thing 
Part of being free 

And I realize 
When I buck my place 
It's my feet but it's their race 

And I don't run unless you try to chase me 
And I don't leave unless you offer me a stay 
And I won't fight unless I'm cornered or if I'm after what I want 
What that is I wish that I could say 

So forgive me or forget you 
If you think you cannot bear 
Believe me life won't let you 
If you blink you shall not fare 

But should you get the chance 
Try to make for the fence 

It's a subtle dance we do 
To stay in from the cold 
And the cleverest ones 
Get to be real old 

I may struggle 
I may complain 
But I'm just trying to grab at the reins 

And I don't run unless you try to chase me 
And I don't leave until you offer me a stay 
And I don't fight unless I'm cornered or if I'm after what I want 
What that is I wish that I could say 

I don't run unless you try to chase me 
And I don't leave until you offer me a stay 
And I don't fight unless I'm cornered or if I'm after what I want 
What that is I wish that I could say 

And if I'm wondering where to go well then forgive me if I don't know
