Lyrics Author/Artist/Singer: Ani Difranco Music Title/Track: Puddle Dive Complete Album Theme ID: 24879 Album: N/A Names And Dates And Times i know so many white people i mean, where do i start? the trouble with white people is you can't tell them apart i'm so bad with names and dates and times but i'm big on faces that is, except for mine i believe you when you tell me we've met before this time you've got my interest this time you've got the floor why don't you go and tell me something i don't already know give me something to remember you by when you go i eat too much i laugh too long maybe i'll like too much of you when i'm gone let's go over to the window and sit in the neon light let's go out walking you know, it's garbage night let's go down to the east river and throw something in something we can't live without and then let's start again the more you talk the more i get the sense of something that hasn't happened yet the more you talk the more i want to know the way i'll remember you when i go i eat too much i laugh too long maybe i'll like too much of you when i'm gone i am so many white people i mean where do i start they've got lots of personalities i just can't tell them apart and i never remember anything except for those things which i never forget you know there's no in between i'm big on your face yeah it's big in my mind you're like the rest of the human race you're one of a kind Anyday i will lean into you and you can be the wind i will open up my mouth and you can come rushing in you can rush in so hard and make it so i can't breathe i breathe too much anyway i can do that anyday i just wish i knew who you were i wish you'd make yourself known probably you don't know i'm her the woman you want to call home i'll keep my ear to the wall i'll keep my eye on the door 'cause i've heard all my own jokes and they're just not funny anymore i laugh too much anyway i can do that anyday have you ever been bent or pulled have you ever been played like strings if i could see you i could strum you i could break you make you sing but i guess you can't really see the wind it just comes in and fills the space and everytime something moves you think that you have seen its face and i've always got my guitar to play but i can do that anyday Forth Of July you gotta have the right tools for every job so i invite myself in through a hole in the fence i am tripping through the junkyard scanning over the piles the thin cats raise their skin in defense i know he's watching me i can see him through the cracks his eyes are small and shy on my back he says his name is jason he lives in the last trailer on the right and he'll be seven on the fourth of july only the people who live here know the name of this place my path through iowa would be hard to trace all the adults in this town try not to frown when i walk by but jason smiled at me he met my eye he don't ask me where i'm from or why i came here alone we all go looking for paradise then we go back home we cut out the small talk go right to the way things are he showed me his squirrel skull i told him i locked myself out of my car so there goes the only friend i have in iowa his hand flapping behind him waving good-bye his name is jason he lives in the last trailer on the right and he'll be seven on the fourth of july Willing To Fight the windows of my soul are made of one way glass don't bother looking into my eyes if there's something you want to know, just ask i got a dead bolt stroll where i'm going is clear i won't wait for you to wonder i'll just tell you why i'm here 'cause i know the biggest crime is just to throw up your hands say this has nothing to do with me i just want to live as comfortably as i can you got to look outside your eyes you got to think outside your brain you got to walk outside you life to where the neighborhood changes tell me who is your boogieman that's who i will be you don't have to like me for who i am but we'll see what you're made of by what you make of me i think that it's absurd that you think i am the derelict daughter i fight fire with words words are hotter than flames words are wetter than water i got friends all over this country i got friends in other countries too i got friends i haven't met yet i got friends i never knew i got lovers whose eyes i've only seen at a glance i got strangers for great grandchildren i got strangers for ancestors i was a long time coming i'll be a long time gone you've got your whole life to do something and that's not very long so why don't you give me a call when you're willing to fight for what you think is real for what you think is right Egos Like Hairdos i saw on the poster my name was printed just a little bit smaller i can tell you need to stand just a little bit taller no one ever talks about it but no one can disguise the cloud of competition that's hanging behind their eyes there's more bad blood in this bar than there is beer and it's subtle but it still sucks and i want out of here we got egos like hairdos they're different every day depending on how we slept the night before depending on the demons that are at our door they told me you wanted to play last every profession has its system of castes so they reverse the order we go on and then you stand at the bar and you talk through my songs we've got egos like hairdos they're different every day depending on how we slept the night before depending on the demons that are at our door everybody loves the underdog but no one wants to be him the press will fatten you up and then they'll dig their teeth in it's cool to discover someone it's hard to support them everyone is playing life like it's some stupid sport we got egos like hairdos they're different every day depending on how we slept the night before depending on the demons that are at our door i got my kitchen stocked i got my door unlocked there're no demons here and i don't really care whose name is printed in bigger type you know i live in a world full of hope not a world full of hype i ain't no saint i help myself to what i need but i help other people too y'know i sleep soundly Back Around my lipstick jumped ship to a styrofoam cup with the coffee gone the conversation strong all i got left to give baby, is up but sentiments like shadows grow oh so long guess i gotta go don't get up don't cry it's really very simple just kiss my cheek and say goodbye i never really go anywhere anyway i just pass through from time to time bye bye baby baby bye bye maybe i'll see you next time i'm in town maybe when i'm through falling off the face of the earth i'll come back around you know i love to come back around ten hours of driving will make your mind kind of numb but it's better than ten dollars an hour slamming a hammer on my thumb and it's better than five dollars an hour selling people shit i wouldn't buy myself at least at the end of the day i'm always somewhere else bye bye baby baby bye bye maybe i'll see you next time i'm in town maybe when i'm through falling off the face of the earth i'll come back around you know i love to come back around Blood In The Boardroom sitting in the boardroom the i'm-so-bored room listening to the suits talk about their world they can make straight lines out of almost anything except for the line of my upper lip when it curls dressed in my best greasy skin and squinty eyes i'm the only part of summer here that made it inside in the air-conditioned building decorated with corporate flair i wonder can these boys smell me bleeding though my underwear there's men wearing the blood of the women they love there's white wearing the blood of the brown but every woman learns to bleed from the womb and we bleed to renew life every time it's cut down i got my vertebrae all stacked up as high as they go i but i still feel myself sliding from the earth that i know so i excuse myself and leave the room say my period came early but it's not a minute too soon i go and find the only other woman on the floor is the secretary sitting at the desk by the door i ask her if she's got a tampon i could use she says oh honey, what a hassle for you sure i do you know i do i say it ain't no hassle, no, it ain't no mess right now it's the only power that i possess these businessmen got the money they got the instruments of death but i can make life i can make breath sitting in the boardroom the i'm-so-bored room listening to the suits talk about their world i didn't really have much to say the whole time i was there so i just left a big brown bloodstain on their white chair Born A Lion i'm not hurting anyone i'm just telling my truth and if there if there is something wrong then maybe there's something wrong with you what's the big deal get over it relax just 'cause i do up in your face what other people do behind your back why we all gotta look gotta act the same i say if you're born a lion don't bother trying to act tame everything i do i do for the first time i got a big crush on you and it's crushing my mind can i follow you home and listen to you think leave my lip prints on your cups leave my hairs in your sink they think i'm out there out there living on the fringe well this is my world and i invited them in they should try living by my rules for a day nobody would die there'd be lots of stuff to say i'm not hurting anyone no i'm not hurting anyone My I.Q. when i was four years old they tried to test my i.q. they showed me a picture of 3 oranges and a pear they said, which one is different? it does not belong they taught me different is wrong but when i was 13 years old i woke up one morning thighs covered in blood like a war like a warning that i live in a breakable takeable body an ever increasingly valuable body that a woman had come in the night to replace me deface me see, my body is borrowed yeah, i got it on loan for the time in between my mom and some maggots i don't need anyone to hold me i can hold my own i got highways for stretchmarks see where i've grown i sing sometimes like my life is at stake 'cause you're only as loud as the noises you make i'm learning to laugh as hard as i can listen 'cause silence is violence in women and poor people if more people were screaming then i could relax but a good brain ain't diddley if you don't have the facts we live in a breakable takeable world an ever available possible world and we can make music like we can make do genius is in a back beat backseat to nothing if you're dancing especially something stupid like i.q. for every lie i unlearn i learn something new i sing sometimes for the war that i fight 'cause every tool is a weapon - if you hold it right. Used To You i'm still here because i've got nothing else to do you're an asshole but i'm getting used to you i like the fact that you talk incessantly i got a thing for assholes who tell good stories i think that drinking is the only thing that you do right you're gonna self-destruct i think that's what i like you like me so you try and make me feel like shit i think it's kind of funny yeah i kind of enjoy it if you're gonna do it, overdo it that's how you know you're alive go ahead, take yourself a coma nap take a puddle dive you said, this is my bedroom window you said, this is my view you said, lie down here with me and see the things that i do like you were trying to tell me something about the way you live like you would give me something if you had something to give and for all your talk you don't say much that's real i think i know more than you about the way that you feel i understand your anger and your apathy i think if i was you, you're who i'd be i'm still here 'cause i got nothing else to do you're an asshole but i'm getting used to you i could love you, yeah i've entertained the thought but i could never like you so i guess i'd better not Pick Yer Nose how come i can pick my ears but not my nose who made up that rule anyway how can you say that's the way it is that's just the way it goes why don't you decide for yourself what you can do and what you can say how come i can pick my friends but not my enemies what is it about me that offends what is it about me 'cause you know i'm only five foot two and i'm giggly wiggly tell me again, what did i do why are you scared of me i fight with love and i laugh with rage you've gotta live light enough to see the humor and long enough to see some change i think shy is boring i think depressed is too i think pretty is nice but i'd rather see something new all these plastic people got their plastic surgery but we got a big big beautiful we got it for free who you gonna be if you can't be yourself you can't get it from t.v. you can't force it on anybody else you know they come to clear cut they come to strip mine they come for some of my big butt my big brain or just a little time they wanna take me out to dinner think i'm a bitch if i don't go seems like the people who actually like me won't allow me to say no your idea of a conversation is the third degree but i don't really know you and i don't really want to talk about me 'cause i'm not going to pretend that i don't pick my nose that's just the way it is, my friends that's just the way it goes this is who i am what i do and what i say if you like it, let it be if you don't, please do the same i fight with love i laugh with rage you gotta live light enough to see the humor and long enough to see some change God's Country state trooper thinks i drive too fast pulled me over to tell me so i say out here on the prairie any speed is too slow i miss brooklyn i miss my crew let's start over i missed my cue guess i just forgot who i was talking to i should have recognized that fierce look in his eyes i've seen it in the mirror so many times he's going to put his two cents in 'cause he's got a gun but i'm gonna put in three 'cause history owes me one guess i came out here to see some stuff for myself i mean, why leave the telling up to everybody else this may be god's country but it's my country too move over mr. holiness and let the little people through thank you for serving and protecting the likes of me thank you for the ticket now can i leave? you know i have left everywhere i have ever been i don't really recommend it though not like anyone asked me maybe you and i will meet again someday i've been known to come down this road call it destiny and then again maybe not i don't know Related Lyrics Random lyrics: The Boys In Blue, The Slant Correct Lyrics, The True Story Of What Was, Tis Of Thee, To Be Free, Two Little Girls, Up Up Up Up Up, Virtue, W T C Poem, Waiting For Susan, Welcome To: - Album: Evolve, What If No Ones Watching, What if No Ones Watching, When Doves Cry, Wish I May, Wishin And Hopin, Wishin And Hopin, Work Your Way Out, Worthy, You Each Time, You Had Time, Your House, Your Next Bold Move, Falling In Love Again, Mother, Youthful, Give Me The Strength, Im No Ordinary Girl, Its About, Its About, London Bridge, Why, Alas, Aliento Inocente, Amigos, Antes De Morir, Aprendiz, Atropello, Aura, Barrio Patron, Buscando Llegar Hasta El Sol, Cambiar?S, Camouflage, CEREBRO INCENDIADO, Chalito, Choli Rancho, Cinco Siglos Igual, Cop Killer, Criminales De Races, Criminales De Raices, Other Ani Difranco song Lyrics 1 x 1 x 1 Lyrics 1,000,000 Lyrics 2nd Intermission Lyrics Agry Anymore Lyrics Aids Lyrics Angry Anymore Lyrics Ani DiFranco Complete Album Lyrics Asked You First Lyrics Astronaut (Ft Radiohead) Lyrics Brief Bus Stop Lyrics Cold And Mean Lyrics ...Show All Other Artists DiFranco Ani Lyrics Anika Moa Lyrics Anika Paris Lyrics A.N.I.M.A.L.
