Ani Difranco Not A Pretty Girl Shy The heat is so great It plays tricks with the eye It turns the road to water And then from water to sky And there's a crack in the concrete floor And it starts at the sink There's a bathroom in a gas station And i've locked myself in it to think And back in the city The sun bakes the trash on the curb The men are pissing in doorways And the rats run in herds I've got a dream of your face That scares me awake I put too much on my table And now i got too much a stake And i might let you off easy Yeah i might lead you on I might wait for you to look for me And then i might be gone Where i come from and where i'm going And i'm lost in between I might go up to that phone booth And leave a veiled invitation on you machine And you'll stop me, won't you If you've heard this one before The one where i surprise you By showing up at your front door Saying 'let's not ask what's next, Or how, or why' I am leaving in the morning So let's not be shy The door opens, the room winces The housekeeper comes in without a warning And i squint at the muscular motel lady Says 'hey good morning' And she jumps, her keys jingle And she leaves as quick as she came in And i roll over and taste the pillow with my grin Well, the sheets are twisted and tangled And the heat is so great And i swear i can feel the mattress Sinking underneath your weight Oh sleep is like a fever And i'm glad when it ends And the road flows like a river And pulls me around every bend And you'll stop me, won't you... The heat is so great It plays tricks with the eye It turns road to water And water to sky And there's a crack in the concrete floor And it starts at the sink There's a bathroom in a gas station And i've locked myself In it to think And you'll stop me, won't you... |
