Ani Difranco - Promised Land Lyrics
Youre taking up lots of spaceYour shit is everywhereYour breath is all up in my faceYour hands are swarming in the airYoure the first one out the carAnd then the loudest one in the barTell me is there something wrongGirlfriend, whats with this new version of who you areSo she lifts her chin andSquints at meTo assess what I think I knowShe says my heart has some dangerous neighborhoodsSo beware where you try to goAnd they say that the truth will set you freeBut then again, so will a lieIt depends if youre trying to get to the promised landOr if youre just trying to get byWhat is a camera but a box of lightWhat is a guitar but a box of soundYou think I dont understandI think I mightWhat it is toTo harvest the emptinessAnd just ride it aroundAnd maybe your chest is an empty shellWith ribs of spiraling coralWhere a perfect pearl of sadness residesBut if you ever need it hereI could come and press it thereAnd I could listen to the sound of the ocean inside
