Lyrics for Looking For The Holes by Ani Difranco:
| | | Artist: | Ani Difranco |
| | Album: | Not So Soft | | Track: | Looking For The Holes | | | | Date Added: | 24/10/2007 | | Views: | 69 | | | | Lyrics: | I am looking for the holes
the holes in your jeans
because I want to know
are
they worn out in the seat
or are they worn out in the knees
there are so many
ways to wear
what we've got before it's gone
to make use of what is there
I
don't wear anything I can't wipe my hands on
do your policies fit between the
headlines
are they written in newsprint, are they distant
mine are crossing an empty
parking lot
they are a woman walking home
at night
alone
they are six
string that sing
and wood that hums against my hipbone
we can't afford to do
anyone harm
because we owe them our lives
each breath is recycled from someone else's
lungs
are enemies are the very air in disguise
you can talk a great
philosophy
but if you can't be kind to people
every day
it doesn't mean that
much to me
it's the little things you do
the little things you say
it's the
love you give along the way
when we patch things up
they say a job well
done
but when we ask why
where did the rips come from
they say we are
subversive
and extreme, of course
we are just trying to track a problem to its
source
because we know we can't sit back
and let people come to harm
we
owe them our lives
each breath is recycled from someone else's lungs
our enemies are
the very air
our enemies are the air
we are looking for the holes
the
holes in your jeans
because we want to know
are they worn out in the seat
or
are they worn out in the knees | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
