Ani Difranco - Splinter lyrics

rate me

somethin' about this landscape

just don't feel right

hyper-air-conditioned

and lit up all night

like we just gotta see

how comfortable comfortable can get

like we can't even bring ourselves to sweat

like we can't even bring ourselves to sweat

sweat in the summer, shiver in the winter

just enough to know that we're alive

watch out for that t.v., it's full of splinters

and remember you can always go outside

really really really far outside

(it will distract you like a honeybee from the hive)

and some might call it conservation

some might call it common sense

and maybe it's because i'm a libra

i say balance balance balance balance

i say balance balance balance balance

...

who put all this stuff in my apartment?

who put all this ice in my drink?

who put the poison in the atmosphere?

who put the poison in the way i think?

o women, won't you be our windows

women who bleed and bleed and bleed

women who swell with the tide and change when the wind blows

show us we are not separate from everything

show us we are connected to everything

so here's to the joys and trials of living

here's to feeling our share of pain

yes all the way from childbirth to dying

here's to staying connected to everything

here's to being connected to everything
