Song | Allergic To Water |
Artist | Ani DiFranco |
Album | Allergic To Water |
You can't even imagine | |
The tortuous state I've been existing in | |
I am allergic to water | |
It itches my throat and it blisters my skin | |
Still, I drink cuz I have to, I bathe cuz I have to | |
But boy it's a pain | |
But I don't cry | |
Cuz it hurts to cry | |
And I don't go outside in the rain | |
And you may wonder what would possess | |
Someone like me to go on | |
You may wonder how it's possible | |
Something so basic could go wrong | |
And all I can say is | |
If you stretch your mind all the way as far as it goes | |
There's someone out there who lives further than that | |
In a place you can never know | |
So right now if you’re looking at me | |
You can assume that I am thirsty | |
And a good day is one when that ache in my brain | |
Can remain at a doable three | |
And I don't really want your sympathy | |
I'm just telling you so you'll understand | |
This is me, sincerely | |
Doin' the best that I can |
You can' t even imagine | |
The tortuous state I' ve been existing in | |
I am allergic to water | |
It itches my throat and it blisters my skin | |
Still, I drink cuz I have to, I bathe cuz I have to | |
But boy it' s a pain | |
But I don' t cry | |
Cuz it hurts to cry | |
And I don' t go outside in the rain | |
And you may wonder what would possess | |
Someone like me to go on | |
You may wonder how it' s possible | |
Something so basic could go wrong | |
And all I can say is | |
If you stretch your mind all the way as far as it goes | |
There' s someone out there who lives further than that | |
In a place you can never know | |
So right now if you' re looking at me | |
You can assume that I am thirsty | |
And a good day is one when that ache in my brain | |
Can remain at a doable three | |
And I don' t really want your sympathy | |
I' m just telling you so you' ll understand | |
This is me, sincerely | |
Doin' the best that I can |
