Lyrics for Pale Purple by Ani Difranco:
| | | Artist: | Ani Difranco |
| | Album: | Ani Difranco | | Track: | Pale Purple | | | | Date Added: | 24/10/2007 | | Views: | 70 | | | | Lyrics: | pale purple nipples
goose pimpled
she shivers shifts from a walk to a trot
/>
alone in the city
infested with faces
immune to new friendships
interested
in places she's never seen
she says everything is grey here
and nothing is green
/>
the girls from down the street
sixteen, seventeen years old
you can smell them
getting pregnant
you can hear their rock and roll
that's america
you have to be
tough
like a glad trash bag
the government's an old nag
with a good pedigree
/>
but pedigree's don't help you and me
i see the precedent is grey here
and nothing
is green
unless something unforseen happens
i'm surrounded by the haves
they
say i can have some too
just because of what i do
do they think a lot
about
those who have not
or does it just distract them
from what they do
most of us
have grey
except for those who can pay
for green
i'm torn
i'm torn
/>
rejecting outfits offered me
regretting things i've worn
when i was still playing
roles
to fill holes
in my conception of who i am
you know, now i understand
/>
it's not important to be defined
it's only important to use your time well
well
time is something nobody can buy
and nobody can sell you
so don't let anybody tell
you
they have the advantage
because all the grey people can say every day
/>
doesn't mean anything
if your mind is green
pale purple nipples
/>
goose pimpled
she shivers shifts from a walk to a trot
alone in the city
/>
infested with faces
immune to new friendships
interested in places she's never
seen
she says everything is grey here
otherwise i'd stay here
but i'm looking
for green
just like every human being | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
