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 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      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 this Cathedral   Is 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 the 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   Restless sir
