Ani Difranco - Going Once Lyrics
Going once, going twiceSold to the girlWho ignored all the adviceOf all the people who knew betterShe just stood thereOn the front porchWaiting for her willTo come and get herShe was packedShe had a suitcaseFull of noble intentionsShe had a mapAnd a straight faceHell bent on reinventionAnd she was readyFor the lonelyShe was in it forIt onlyGoing once, going twiceDown the road less takenWith her diary and her wd40And her swiss army knifeAnd her beerAnd there was alwaysSomeone there to sayWhy dont you just stayAnd hang your hat hereBut she was packedShe had a suitcaseFull of bungles and near missesAnd she was swingingThrough a jungleOf last calls and first kissesAnd she was learningAbout pleaseAnd huge humilitiesThen one day she looked around hereAnd everything up til then was showingAnd she wondered how did I get hereWithout even knowing where I was going?Now theres no getting out of thisAnd there is no going backAnd it all seems so odd sometimesAnd the odds all seem stackedGoing once, going twiceSold to the girlWho ignored all the adviceOf all the people who knew betterShe just stood thereOn the front porchWaiting for her willTo come and get herShe was packedShe ahd a suitcaseShe had a mapAnd a straight faceShe was readyFor the lonelyShe was in it forIt only
