ani difranco - manhole |
| [00:15.71] |
|
| [00:17.71] |
|
| [00:19.71] |
i'm holding here a book |
| [00:21.55] |
notable, but not the greatest |
| [00:24.15] |
stolen for me by the latest |
| [00:26.74] |
in a long line of thieves |
| [00:29.15] |
and i'm just about to drop it |
| [00:31.30] |
down that manhole of memories |
| [00:33.97] |
when i realize it doesn't bother me |
| [00:36.16] |
like love's mementos usually do |
| [00:38.86] |
and i look up to see who's different here |
| [00:41.15] |
the latest me or the latest you |
| [00:43.86] |
|
| [00:44.23] |
course, you're the kind of guy who doesn't lie |
| [00:46.35] |
he just doctors everything |
| [00:48.21] |
chooses some unassuming finger |
| [00:50.53] |
and quietly moves his wedding ring |
| [00:53.25] |
who rewrites his autobiography |
| [00:55.48] |
for any pretty girl who'll sing |
| [00:58.28] |
but you can't fool the queen, baby |
| [01:00.71] |
cuz i married the king |
| [01:02.68] |
|
| [01:03.06] |
and maybe it was i who betrayed his majesty |
| [01:05.05] |
with no opposite reality |
| [01:08.02] |
like a puddle with no reflection |
| [01:10.68] |
of the sky or the trees |
| [01:13.09] |
but after my dreaded beheading |
| [01:14.90] |
i tied that sucker back on with a string |
| [01:17.92] |
and i guess i'm pretty different now |
| [01:22.08] |
considering |
| [01:23.46] |
|
| [01:43.52] |
i kissed you on the street that night |
| [01:45.75] |
on the far side of four |
| [01:48.96] |
but i didn't like the taste |
| [01:50.73] |
in my mouth or yours |
| [01:53.85] |
and ignoring the persona you wore for my benefit |
| [01:57.32] |
for once i had the balls to call it |
| [02:00.80] |
just call it |
| [02:03.46] |
but a lesson must be lived |
| [02:05.80] |
in order to be learned |
| [02:08.14] |
and the clarity to see and stop this now |
| [02:10.66] |
that is what i've earned |
| [02:12.54] |
|
| [02:12.91] |
and maybe it was i who betrayed his majesty |
| [02:15.24] |
with no opposite reality |
| [02:17.77] |
like a puddle with no reflection |
| [02:20.47] |
of the sky or the trees |
| [02:22.79] |
but after my dreaded beheading |
| [02:24.54] |
i tied that sucker back on with a string |
| [02:27.56] |
and i guess i'm pretty different now |
| [02:31.87] |
considering |
| [02:34.02] |
|
| [02:53.04] |
i'm holding here a book |
| [02:54.82] |
notable, but not the greatest |
| [02:57.51] |
stolen for me by the latest |
| [03:00.13] |
in a long line of thieves |
| [03:02.56] |
and i'm just about to drop it |
| [03:04.70] |
down that manhole of memories |
| [03:07.30] |
when i realize it doesn't bother me |
| [03:09.98] |
and heartache not so dire |
| [03:12.36] |
cuz i looked up to see integrity |
| [03:14.74] |
finally won over desire |
| [03:17.26] |
|
| [03:23.68] |
|
| [03:32.33] |
|
| [03:37.43] |
|
| [03:43.47] |
end |
