I'm fanaticizing about doing a raindance in traffic
I'm fanaticizing about a storm to wash me away
Well, If you'd study the laugh lines, you'd see that I'm cracking
But I spent six months now feeling like dead weight
The fighter in me must've died a long time ago
I must've been watching his ghost
Just going through the motions (whoa, whoa)
Just putting on a face (whoa, whoa)
Oh, it feels like 1929, and I'm on the verge
Of a great collapse today

Every window in this house faces a brick wall
And I'm panicked and absent like a bird in a cage
Well, 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
The fighter in me must've died a long time ago
I must've been watching his ghost
Just going through the motions (whoa, whoa)
Just putting on a face (whoa, whoa)
Oh, it feels like 1929, and I'm on the verge
Of a great collapse today

And I used to have such steady hands
But now I can't keep 'em from shaking
