Are you weary as water?
In a faucet left dripping
With an incessant sadness
Like a sad record skipping
And an ugly and ornery
and shadowy dread
Lurking like a troll under the bridge
Between your heart and your head
She came to and her
whole life was how she remembered it
She had a mouth full of fur
and she was laughing
She parked her hearse across
three spaces posted "motorcycles only"
and jumped out shouting
What the cuss could make a nice girl like us feel so lonely?
Are you weary as water?
In a faucet left dripping
With an incessant sadness
Like a sad record skipping
With an ugly and ornery
and shadowy dread
Lurking like a troll under the bridge
Between your heart and your head
Please dumb blind kind sir
Lend little miss listless a little bit of christmas
She's been a real good girl
But now she's stuck here
The world is so little and still
Mysterious and ominous as ever before
Like an unmarked bottle full of pills
On the shelf right next to the thing
You were reaching for
Are you weary as water?
In a faucet left dripping
With an incessant sadness
Like a sad record skipping
And an ugly and ornery
and shadowy dread
Lurking like a troll under the bridge
Between your heart and your head
Swing the groove 'round here
Where I can reach it
When I get my ass back on track
I know I'm gonna need it, I'm really gonna need it
Swing shift until I get the money
Buy me and my baby a moon full of honey
Then I'm gonna turn off the nagging voice
that follows me to bed
and fills my head with:
("You suck")
Are you weary as water?
("What did you do that for?")
In a faucet left dripping
With an incessant sadness
Like a sad record skipping
With an ugly and ornery
("Well you could have just...")
and shadowy dread
("You didn't have to...")
Lurking like a troll under the bridge
("You were so close...")
Between your heart and your head
She came to and her
whole life was how she remembered it
She had a mouth full of fur
and she was laughing
She parked her hearse across
three spaces posted "motorcycles only"
and jumped out shouting
What the cuss could make a nice girl like us feel so lonely?
So lonely?
Are you weary as water?
In a faucet left dripping
With an incessant sadness
Like a sad record skipping
If you're diggin on the sound
No walls up, break it down
Uh happiness, spread it all around
Racism thump it in the ground
So if you're diggin on the sound
No walls up, break it down
Uh ignorance thump it in the ground
Then happiness spread it all around
Check
Who said Folk and Hip Hop can't latch
Put us together on the stage and light a match
Kaboom
Guess who stepped in the room
Sweeping you off your feet
Like we had a broom
With Ani Difranco and Maceo
Add a little freestyle flow
and who knows
Put a little scratchin into the mix
And it's enough to get you high if you need a fix
So if you're diggin on the sound
Uh no walls up, break it down
Uh ignorance thump it in the ground
Happiness spread it all around
So if you're diggin on the sound
No walls up, break it down
Racism thump it in the ground
Uh happiness, spread it all around
Uh if you're diggin on the sound
