Lyrics

Restless

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I don't belong to no one

I don't belong at all

Got my face in the corner

Got my back to the wall

And pretty baby I'm restless, restless

Restless through and through

I'm restless, restless

You look restless too

I'm a hair trigger lover

And I can't face up to nothing

I'm impatient with the wind

But I'm waitin' here for somethin'

And pretty baby I'm restless, restless

Restless through and through

I'm restless, restless

You look restless too

Restless sleep, twisted dreams

Moving targets, silent screams

Restless city, restless street

Restless you, restless me

I'm a face at the window

I'm a black satin sheet

And I can't stay warm

I stay out in the street

And pretty baby I'm restless, restless

Restless through and through

I'm restless, restless

You look restless too
