A Raindance in Traffic

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 was just happy to be a contender
 And I was just aching for anything
 And I used to have such steady hands
 But now I can't keep 'em from shaking
 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
 Can't keep 'em from shaking (I was just happy to be a contender)
 I can't keep 'em from shaking (I was just aching for anything)
 I can't keep 'em from shaking (I used to have such)
 I can't keep 'em from shaking (steady hands)
 (I used to have such) can't keep 'em from shaking
 (Steady hands) can't keep 'em from shaking
