Virtue Lyrics by Ani Difranco

Virtue Lyrics

    Virtue is relative at best
    There's nothing worse than a sunset
    When you're driving due west
    And i'm afraid that my love
    Is gonna come up short
    There is no there there
    I guess i'm scared
    Cuz i want to have good news to report
    Every time i come up for air

    Now i'm cruising through a chromakey blue sky
    And i know that in an hour or three
    The sun is gonna be in my eyes
    And i know that sometimes all i can see
    Is how i feel
    Like the whole world is on the other side
    Of a dirty windshield
    And i'm tryin to see through the glare
    Yes i'm struggling just to see what's there

    The one person who really knows me best
    Says i'm like a cat
    Yeah the kind of cat that you just can't pick up
    And throw into your lap
    No, the kind that doesn't mind being held
    Only when its her idea
    Yeah, the kind that feels what she decides to feel
    When she is good and ready to feel it

    And now i am prowling through the backyard
    And i am hiding under the car
    I have gotten out of everything
    Ive gotten into so far
    I eat when i am hungry
    And i travel alone
    And just outside the glow of the house
    Is where i feel most at home

    But in the window you sometimes appear
    And your music is faint in my ears
