the million you never madethe air comes off the ocean and the city smells fishy the air is full of fish and mystery whispering who? what? when? and i'm warning you i'm weightless and the wind is always shifting so don't hang anything on me if you ever want to see it again i'm telling you i'm different than you think i am you can dangle your carrot but i ain't gonna reach for it 'cuz i need both my hands to play my guitar and life is a sleazy stranger who looks vaguely familiar flirting with a bimbo named disaster at the end of the bar i'm telling you i'm different than you are at night when you're asleep self hatred's gonna creep in you can blame it on the devil (the one who's bed you sleep in) don't tell me what they did to you as though you had no choice isn't that your picture? isn't that your voice? if you don't live what you sing about your mirror is going to find out yeah, i'd like to go to all the pretty parties where all the pretty people go and i ain't really all that pretty but nobody will know 'cuz everybody loves you when you're a star and nobody questions what it takes to go that far life is a sleazy stranger and this is his favorite bar and no i don't prefer obscurity but i'm an idealistic girl and i wouldn't work for you no matter what you paid i may not be able to change the whole fucking world but i can be the million that you never made yeah i can be the million you never made you are looking at the million that you never made © 1995 ani difranco / righteous babe music |
