Blue Rodeo Restless Lyrics

Restless Lyrics

You were so poised



like some matador raising his steel



it's the same old useless ceremony



and a last bow before the kill



Every junkie in this laundromat



is equal in the eyes of your lord



but you just put your hand to your hip



you're gonna give them a taste



a taste of your sword



I get so restless



I get so restless



I get so restless



restless sir



In what you hoped looked so dignified



you played your exit for a laugh



and like they've done so many times before



they made excuses on your behalf



and every street Jesus and suicide, 



is just another voice that goes unheard



every candle in the cathedral



a prayer for a better world



I get so restless



I get so restless



I get so restless



restless sir



You were so poised



like some matador raising his steel



it's the same old useless ceremony



and a last bow before the kill



and in the not too distant future



you'll have the preacher and soldier



floating round in space



the soldier's finger on the trigger



the preacher's joined in a state of grace



I get so restless



I get so restless



I get so restless
