Lyrics for Everest by Ani Difranco:
| | | Artist: | Ani Difranco |
| | Album: | Up Up Up Up Up Up | | Track: | Everest | | | | Date Added: | 24/10/2007 | | Views: | 71 | | | | Lyrics: | from the depth of the pacific
to the height of everest
and still the world is
smoother
than a shiny ball-bearing
so i take a few steps back
and put on a
wider lens
and it changes your skin,
your sex, and what your wearing
distance
shows your *silhouette*
to be a lot like mine
like a sphere is a sphere
and all
of us here
have been here all the time
yeah, we've been here all the time*
/>
you brought me to church
cinder blocks, flourescent light
you brought me to
church
at seven o'clock on a sunday night
and the band was rockin'
and the
floors were scrubbed clean
and everybody had a tambourine
so i took a deep
breath and became
the white girl with the hair
and you sat right beside me
/>
while everybody stared
and through the open window
i think the singing went
outside
and floated up to tell
all the stars not to hide
'cuz by the time
church let out
the sky was much clearer
and the moon was so beautiful
that the
ocean held up a mirror
as we walked home home we spoke slowly
we spoke slow
/>
and we spoke slowly
like it was taking more time
than usual to choose
the
words to go
with your squeaky sandal shoes
like time is not a thing
thats ours
to lose
from the height of the pacific
to the depths of the everest | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
