fuck yeah, ani difranco

"So that’s how you found me, rain falling around me
looking down at a worm with a long way to go
and the traffic was hissing by, and I was homesick and I was high
And I was surrounded by a language in which
I could say only hello and thank you very much,
but you spoke so I could understand, and I drew a treasure map on your hand
You were no picnic, and you were no prize,
but you had just enough pathos to keep me hypnotized.
The map led an island in a sea of storebought dreams
where soulless singers sang over beats built by machines
and lovely girls were hovering above my head like gulls
with their long slender necks and their delicate skulls,
I was no picnic and I was no prize,
but I had just enough sweetness to keep you hypnotized."
