Tiptoe Lyrics by Ani DiFranco

Tiptoe Lyrics

    tiptoeing through the used condoms
    strewn on the piers
    off the west side highway
    sunset behind the skyline of jersey
    walking towards the water
    with a fetus holding court in my gut
    my body highjacked
    my tits swollen
    I'm sore
    the river has more colors at sunset than my sock drawer ever dreamed of
    I could wake up screaming sometimes
    but I don't
    I could step off the end of this pier
    but I've got shit to do
    and I've an appointment on tuesday
    to shed uninvited blood and tissue
    I'll miss you I say to the river
    to the water
    to the son or
    daughter I thought better of
    I could fall in love with jersey at sunset
    but I leave
    the view
    to the rats
    and tiptoe back
