Steve Evetts - A Raindance In Traffic lyrics

I'm fantasizing about doing a raindance in traffic I'm fantasizing about a storm to wash me away If you'd study the laugh-lines, you'd see that I'm cracking I spent six months now feeling like dead weight [Chorus] The fighter in me must have died a long time ago I must have been watching his ghost; Just going through the motions, just putting on a face It feels like 1929 and I'm on the verge of a great collapse today Every window in this house faces a brick wall I'm panicked and absent like a bird in a cage The word from the front lines says that we're out-gunned But I can't walk away, no, I can't walk away, no, I can't [Chorus] I was just happy to be a contender I was just aching for anything And I used to have such steady hands but Now I can't keep 'em from shaking [x2] I can't keep 'em from shaking [x6]
