Ani DiFranco - Knuckle Down[00:00:00]
That's just my cowgirl alter-ego[00:00:32]
Riding on her bar room bull[00:00:33]
Dripping with the sweat of irony[00:00:36]
As the cowboys whoop and drool[00:00:37]
Shooting glances at the mirror[00:00:39]
To see if her scar is showing[00:00:41]
She is truly going nowhere tonight[00:00:43]
Lecherous old lady wanna-be[00:00:47]
Much too young and shy[00:00:49]
Flailing her whole life[00:00:51]
Just thinking she can teach herself to fly[00:00:52]
Vehement romantic[00:00:55]
Frantic for forever right now[00:00:56]
But forever's going nowhere tonight[00:00:59]
Sick of goading her self-loathing[00:01:03]
She thinks, I think I'd better leave[00:01:04]
'Course whiskey makes me smarter[00:01:07]
And I'm happy as can be[00:01:09]
But please excuse me darlin[00:01:11]
It's not you[00:01:12]
It's me[00:01:14]
And there's a dusty old dust storm on mars, they say[00:01:18]
So tonight you can't see it too clear[00:01:23]
Still I stood in line to look through their telescope[00:01:26]
Looked like a distant ship light[00:01:34]
As seen from a foggy pier[00:01:38]
And I know that I was warned[00:01:43]
Still it was not what I hoped[00:01:45]
Yes I know that I was warned[00:01:51]
Still it was not what I hoped[00:01:53]
I think I'm done gunnin to get closer[00:01:59]
To some imagined bliss[00:02:04]
I gotta knuckle down[00:02:07]
And just be ok with this[00:02:10]
I gonna knuckle down[00:02:15]
Just be ok with this[00:02:18]
'Course that star struck girl is already someone I miss[00:02:24]
I swear some stuff you just see better from further away[00:02:46]
And I think I communicate best now, the less I say[00:02:50]
And I can't dance if the band can't play[00:02:54]
And the vibe is going nowhere tonight[00:02:58]
'Cuz somewhere between Hollywood and its pretty happiness[00:03:02]
And an anguish so infinite it's anybody's guess[00:03:06]
Is a place where people are all teachers[00:03:09]
And this just one long class[00:03:12]
And that ass will get you nowhere tonight[00:03:14]
There's a dusty old dust storm on mars they say[00:03:18]
So tonight you can't see it too clear[00:03:22]
Still I stood in line to look through their telescope[00:03:26]
Looked like a distant ship light[00:03:34]
As seen from a foggy pier[00:03:38]
And I know that I was warned[00:03:42]
Still it was not what I hoped[00:03:44]
Yeah I know that I was warned[00:03:50]
Still it was not what I hoped[00:03:53]
I think I'm done gunnin to get closer[00:03:59]
To some imagined bliss[00:04:03]
I gotta knuckle down[00:04:06]
Just be ok with this[00:04:09]
Gotta knuckle down[00:04:14]
Just be ok with this[00:04:18]
'Course that star struck girl is already someone I miss[00:04:24]
