jane siberry - dante lyrics

[verse 1]
baby baby, baby baby
you went home for thanksgiving
braced for the darkness
of the disconnected life
braced for the attacks from the easy chair
and when it was time to leave
you went to say goodbye
a flash went up your spine
instead you said, no one, no one
n0body, n0body
no one ever taught you but you know

[verse 2]
baby baby, baby baby
and as you went to leave
he half rose up from his easy chair
and tiny flames l!cked the walls
and up your mother’s calves
a storm was comin’
and you better get out of therе fast
so you went to say goodbye
a flash went up your spinе
instead you said, i thank you
for all the things you sacrificed
he tried to curse you
but instead he begged forgiveness
and you held him as he cried
[bridge]
you are the rage of a lion
in a cage at night
the roar of a mother
bringing her baby back to life

[verse 3]
baby baby baby, baby baby baby
and when you reached the subway
you stumbled down the stairs
confused by a different kind of pain
you drifted towards the track
and no one had your back
but the angels pressed
through the frightened crowd
someone screamed, a baby cried
no one told you, no one told you
n0body, n0body, no one ever told you
but somehow you’ve always known

[outro]
may you never be so alone again
may the subway tracks rise up
and throw you back to friends
may you feel the angels
bend closer when you call
may you see your own beauty
as you’ll see it in us all
but beyond all this, beyond all this
the n0bleness of gristle and
the magnificence of grist
there’s just one thing
you need recall and it is this
you always have been
and always will be well
