Once again, Ani has my words…

"Back Around"
-Ani Difranco


My lipstick jumped ship to a Styrofoam cup of the coffee – gone.
The conversation strong.
All I’ve got left to give, baby is up.
But sentiments like shadows grow
Ah so long

Guess I got to go.
Don’t get up,
Don’t cry.
It’s really very simple,
Just kiss my cheek and say goodbye.
I never really go anywhere anyway.
I just pass through from time to time,
From time…

Bye bye baby.
Baby bye bye.
Maybe I’ll see you next time I’m in town.
Maybe when I’m through falling off the face of the earth,
I’ll come back around.
You know I’d love to come back around.

10 hours of driving will make your mind kind of numb.
But it’s better than 10 dollars an hour slamming a hammer on my thumb.
Better than 5 dollars an hour selling peoples shit I wouldn’t buy myself.
At least at the end of the day, I’m always somewhere else.

Bye bye baby.
Baby bye bye.
Maybe I’ll see you next time I’m in town.
Maybe when I’m through falling off the face of the earth,
I’ll come back around.
You know I’d love to come back around.

My lipstick jumped ship to a Styrofoam cup of the coffee – gone.
The conversation strong.
All I’ve got left to give, baby is up.
But sentiments like shadows grow,
Ah so long.
