Ani DiFranco - Knuckle Down |
| [00:30.27] |
|
| [00:32.27] |
That's just my cowgirl alter-ego |
| [00:33.80] |
Riding on her bar room bull |
| [00:36.04] |
Dripping with the sweat of irony |
| [00:37.81] |
As the cowboys whoop and drool |
| [00:39.87] |
Shooting glances at the mirror |
| [00:41.33] |
To see if her scar is showing |
| [00:43.53] |
She is truly going nowhere tonight |
| [00:46.50] |
|
| [00:47.77] |
Lecherous old lady wanna-be |
| [00:49.75] |
Much too young and shy |
| [00:51.68] |
Flailing her whole life |
| [00:52.80] |
Just thinking she can teach herself to fly |
| [00:55.59] |
Vehement romantic |
| [00:56.79] |
Frantic for forever right now |
| [00:59.41] |
But forever's going nowhere tonight |
| [01:02.53] |
|
| [01:03.19] |
Sick of goading her self-loathing |
| [01:04.93] |
She thinks, I think I'd better leave |
| [01:07.12] |
'Course whiskey makes me smarter |
| [01:09.03] |
And I'm happy as can be |
| [01:11.18] |
But please excuse me darlin |
| [01:12.87] |
It's not you |
| [01:14.58] |
It's me |
| [01:15.40] |
|
| [01:18.93] |
And there's a dusty old dust storm on mars, they say |
| [01:23.44] |
So tonight you can't see it too clear |
| [01:26.92] |
Still I stood in line to look through their telescope |
| [01:34.66] |
Looked like a distant ship light |
| [01:38.84] |
As seen from a foggy pier |
| [01:43.09] |
And I know that I was warned |
| [01:45.60] |
Still it was not what I hoped |
| [01:51.23] |
Yes I know that I was warned |
| [01:53.87] |
Still it was not what I hoped |
| [01:55.94] |
|
| [01:59.46] |
I think I'm done gunnin to get closer |
| [02:04.27] |
To some imagined bliss |
| [02:07.30] |
I gotta knuckle down |
| [02:10.29] |
And just be ok with this |
| [02:15.33] |
I gonna knuckle down |
| [02:18.49] |
Just be ok with this |
| [02:24.13] |
'Course that star struck girl is already someone I miss |
| [02:30.26] |
|
| [02:46.52] |
I swear some stuff you just see better from further away |
| [02:50.46] |
And I think I communicate best now, the less I say |
| [02:54.58] |
And I can't dance if the band can't play |
| [02:58.53] |
And the vibe is going nowhere tonight |
| [03:01.31] |
|
| [03:02.46] |
'Cuz somewhere between Hollywood and its pretty happiness |
| [03:06.31] |
And an anguish so infinite it's anybody's guess |
| [03:09.93] |
Is a place where people are all teachers |
| [03:12.49] |
And this just one long class |
| [03:14.28] |
And that ass will get you nowhere tonight |
| [03:17.37] |
|
| [03:18.28] |
There's a dusty old dust storm on mars they say |
| [03:22.83] |
So tonight you can't see it too clear |
| [03:26.35] |
Still I stood in line to look through their telescope |
| [03:34.15] |
Looked like a distant ship light |
| [03:38.30] |
As seen from a foggy pier |
| [03:42.58] |
And I know that I was warned |
| [03:44.91] |
Still it was not what I hoped |
| [03:50.74] |
Yeah I know that I was warned |
| [03:53.32] |
Still it was not what I hoped |
| [03:56.38] |
|
| [03:59.29] |
I think I'm done gunnin to get closer |
| [04:03.91] |
To some imagined bliss |
| [04:06.83] |
I gotta knuckle down |
| [04:09.84] |
Just be ok with this |
| [04:14.98] |
Gotta knuckle down |
| [04:18.22] |
Just be ok with this |
| [04:21.52] |
|
| [04:24.01] |
'Course that star struck girl is already someone I miss |
| [04:29.82] |
