Out Of Habit Lyrics by Ani DiFranco

Out Of Habit Lyrics

    the butter melts out of habit
    the toast isn't even warm
    the waitress and the man in the plaid shirt
    play out a scene they've played
    so many times before
    I am watching the sun stumble home in the morning
    from a bar on the east side of town
    and the coffee is just water dressed in brown
    beautiful but boring
    he visited me yesterday
    he noticed my fingers
    and asked me if I would play
    I didn't really care a lot
    but I couldn't think of a reason why not
    I said if you don't come any closer I don't mind if you stay
    my thighs have been involved in many accidents
    and now I can't get insured
    and I don't need to be lured by you
    my cunt is built like a wound that won't heal
    and now you don't have to ask
    because you know how I feel
    you know how I feel

    art is why I get up in the morning
    but my definition ends there
    and it doesn't seem fair
    that I'm living for something I can't even define
    there you are right there
    in the meantime

    I don't want to play for you anymore
    show me what you can do
    tell me what are you here for
    I want my old friends
    I want my old face
    I want my old mind
    fuck this time and place

    the butter melts out of habit
    you know, the toast isn't even warm
