Ani Difranco - LOOM lyrics

rate me

You always got those dark sunglasses

Covering up your face

But if you promise to take them off

I promise I won't squander your gaze

I will be picturesque

I will be nice

I won't do anything

You can't tell your wife

I will think before I act

I will think twice

Just let me see your eyes

Each time we've spoke

We've put in our token

And ridden the tilt-a-whirl

And I was giggling and dizzy

Flirting like a 12 year old girl

The carnival of you and me is coming to town

Watch how we spin and spin

And then fall down

Now we just say hello

And head for firmer ground

You are the one-way glass that watches me

Standing in line at the bank

I always looked into your glasses

Like a cat looks into a fish tank

But all I could ever see was the specter of me reflected

I want a monument of friendship

That we never had, erected

I want it to take up lots of room

I want it to loom

You always got those dark sunglasses

Between us when we talk

But after the party is over

If you wanna take a walk

We could just look around not do nothing wrong

Just try to be at least as brave as our songs

I will bring my heart

I will bring my face

Just name the time and place
