Loom - Lyrics by Difranco Ani


Lyrics
you always got those dark sunglassescovering half your facebut if you promise to take them offi promise i won't squander your gazei will be picturesquei will be nicei won't do anythingyou can't tell your wifei will think before i acti will think twicejust let me see your eyeseach time we've spokenwe've put in our tokenand ridden the tilt-a-whirli was giggling and dizzyflirting like a twelve year old girlthe carnival of you and meis coming to townwatch how we spin and spinand then fall downnow we just say helloand head for firmer groundyou are the one-way glassthat watches mestanding in line at the banki always looked into your glasseslike a cat looks into a fish tankbut all i could ever seewas the specter of me reflectedi want a monument of the friendshipthat we never had, erectedi want to take up lots of roomi want it to loomyou always got those dark sunglassesbetween us when we talkbut after the party is overif you wanna take a walkwe could just look aroundnot do nothing wrongjust try to be at least as brave as our songsi will bring my hearti will bring my faceyou name the time and place
