Ani Difranco - Deep Dish Lyrics
Cold and drizzly night in chicagos deep dishFluorescent light of the bathroomShows my hands as they areSee an eyelash on my cheekPick it off and make a wishAnd walk back out into the barWind at the windowsNeon lights, the pattered paneThe waitress wields the weightOf her tray around her palmThe doorman cups his handsAnd lights his cigarette againAnd the rain marches on(this is only a possibility in a world of possibilities. there are, obviouslyThere are many possibilities, ranging from small to large, before long thereWill be short, before short there was nothing. when there was nothing thereWas always the possibility of something, becoming what it is)Dont even bother tryingTo say something cleverClever is as clever doesNo matter what it saysIm looking for a signSays youre for real this timeBut I dont trust whats in your headI walk up to the barAnd point to the top shelfAnd then I throw my head backAnd laugh at myselfI raise a toast to all our saviorsEach so badly behavedIts too bad that their worldIs the one that they saved(now you got to dance with me, now is when its gotta be cuz I cant wait forThe dance floor to fill in. if you want to dance with me, Ill show you howIts gonna be cuz I cant wait for the band to begin)Theres a spider spinning cobwebsFrom your elbow to the tableWhile my eyes ride the crowdIn a secret rodeoI smile with my mouthLift my watch up to the lightSay, oh look I have to go
