ani difranco - manhole lyrics

Loading...

i’m holding here a book
notable, but not the greatest
stolen for me by the latest
in a long line of thieves
and i’m just about to drop it
down that manhole of memories
when i realize it doesn’t bother me
like love’s mementos usually do
and i look up to see who’s different here
the latest me or the latest you

course, you’re the kind of guy who doesn’t lie
he just doctors everything
chooses some un-ssuming finger
and quietly moves his wedding ring
who rewrites his autobiography
for any pretty girl who’ll sing
but you can’t fool the queen, baby
cuz i married the king

and maybe it was i who betrayed his majesty
with no opposite reality
like a puddle with no reflection
of the sky or the trees
but after my dreaded beheading
i tied that sucker back on with a string
and i guess i’m pretty different now
considering

i kissed you on the street that night
on the far side of four
but i didn’t like the taste
in my mouth or yours
and ignoring the persona you wore for my benefit
for once i had the b-lls to call it
just call it
but a lesson must be lived
in order to be learned
and the clarity to see and stop this now
that is what i’ve earned

and maybe it was i who betrayed his majesty
with no opposite reality
like a puddle with no reflection
of the sky or the trees
but after my dreaded beheading
i tied that sucker back on with a string
and i guess i’m pretty different now
considering

i’m holding here a book
notable, but not the greatest
stolen for me by the latest
in a long line of thieves
and i’m just about to drop it
down that manhole of memories
when i realize it doesn’t bother me
and heartache not so dire
cuz i looked up to see integrity
finally won over desire
