Ani Difranco - Lost Woman Song Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • -for lucille clifton
  • I opened a bank account
  • When I was nine years old
  • I closed it when I was eighteen
  • I gave them every penny that Id saved
  • And they gave my blood
  • And my urine
  • A number
  • Now Im sitting in this waiting room
  • Playing with the toys
  • And I am here to exercise
  • My freedom of choice
  • I passed their handheld signs
  • Went through their picket lines
  • They gathered when they saw me coming
  • They shouted when they saw me cross
  • I said why dont you go home
  • Just leave me alone
  • Im just another woman lost
  • You are like fish in the water
  • Who dont know that they are wet
  • As far as I can tell
  • The world isnt perfect yet
  • His bored eyes were obscene
  • On his denim thighs a magazine
  • I wish hed never come here with me
  • In fact I wish hed never come near me
  • I wish his shoulder
  • Wasnt touching mine
  • I am growing older
  • Waiting in this line
  • Some of lifes best lessons
  • Are learned at the worst times
  • Under the fierce flourescent
  • She offered her hand for me to hold
  • She offered stability and calm
  • And I was crushing her palm
  • Through the pinch pull wincing
  • My smile unconvincing
  • On that sterile battlefield that sees
  • Only casualties
  • Never heros
  • My heart hit absolute zero
  • Lucille, your voice still sounds in me
  • Mine was a relatively easy tragedy
  • Now the profile of our country
  • Looks a little less hard nosed
  • But that picket line persisted
  • And that clinics since been closed
  • They keep pounding their fists on reality
  • Hoping it will break
  • But I dont think theres a one of us
  • Leads a life free of mistakes
