Ani Difranco - Rush Hour Lyrics
Rush hourAnd the days dawningThe rain cameAnd pushed me under the awningThe puddles grew and threw themselves at meWith every passing carIm shielding my guitarAnd there were some things that iDid not tell himThere were certain thingsHe did not need to knowAnd there were some daysWhen I did not love himHe didnt understand meAnd I dont know whyI didnt goHe said change the channelIve got problems of my ownIm so sick of hearing about drugsAnd aidsAnd people without homesAnd I said, well,Id like to sympathize with thatBut if you dont understandThen how can you actI expected summer to be there in the morningI woke to the alarmBut she was out of arms reachSneaking outOn silent thighsThat were spent and soreFrom the hot nights that came beforeHe said I looked for youI dont know whyI said I was wearing black so you couldSee me against the skyTake your big leather bootsAnd your buckles and your chainsPut them on a downtown trainI expected he would be there in the morningI awoke to the alarmHe was still in arms reachBut his body was just a disguiseHis mind had wandered off long agoYou see in his eyesLove isnt over when the sheets are stainedIn my head there remainsSo much left to be saidMake me laugh, make me cry, enrage meBut just dont try to disengage me
