Ani Difranco - Both Hands Lyrics
I am walkingOut in the rainAnd I am listening to the low moanOf the dial tone againAnd I am gettingNowhere with youAnd I cant let it goAnd I cant get through...The old woman behind the pink curtainsAnd the closed doorOn the first floorShes listening through the air shaftTo see how long our swan song can lastAnd both handsNow use both handsOh, no dont close your eyesI am writingGraffitti on your bodyI am drawing the story ofHow hard we triedI am watching your chest rise and fallLike the tides of my life,And the rest of it allAnd your bones have been my bedframeAnd your flesh has been my pillowI am waiting for sleepTo offer up the deepWith both handsIn eachothers shadows we grew less and less tallAnd eventually our theories couldnt explain it allAnd Im recording our history now on the bedroom wallAnd eventually the landlord will comeAnd paint over it allAnd I am walkingOut in the rainAnd I am listening to the low moan of the dial tone againAnd I am getting nowhere with youAnd I cant let it goAnd I cant get thoughSo now use both handsPlease use both handsOh, no dont close your eyesI am writing graffitti on your bodyI am drawing the story of how hard we triedHard we triedHow hard we tried
