Slide Lyrics by Ani DiFranco

Slide Lyrics

    she was hungry
    so hungry
    she was trying to think clear
    she kept opening the fridge door
    staring at the mustard and the beer

    then finally she went out into the rain
    carrying her bicycle chain
    and her feet were the pedals
    while her appetite steered
    and after that she just followed her nose
    and fate is not just
    whose cooking smells good
    but which way the wind blows

    she lay down in her party dress
    and never got up
    needless to say
    she missed the party
    she just got sad
    then she got stuck

    she was bending
    like something brittle
    trying hard to bend
    she was numb
    with the terror
    of losing her best friend
    we never see things changing
    we only see them ending

    and some vicious whispering voice kept saying
    you have no choice
    you have....

    'cause when I look at you I squint
    you are that beautiful
    and my pussy is a tractor
    and this is a tractor pull
    and I am haunted
    by my illicit exquisite dream
    but I can't really wake up
    so I just drift in between
    thinking the glass is half-empty
    and thinking it's not quite full
    the pouring rain is no place for a bicycle ride
    try to hit the brakes and you slide
    slide
    slide
    slide

    the pouring rain is no place for a bicycle ride
    try to hit the brakes and you
    slide
    slide
    slide
    slide
    slide
    slide
    slide
    slide
    slide
