Aids Lyrics - Ani Difranco

Everywhere she looks 

She looks through the corner of her eye 

Everytime she left 

She never turned to say goodbye 

Swaying in the corner of the ballroom 

Alone by the music 

She looked like a spiderweb 

Fresh from the war 

He complements her bedroom decor 

She crawled in there like water 

She drowned in there on the floor 

She left him gasping for air 

And crying for more. 

And the morning sun was embarrassed to find them 

Lying together 

Neither could remember the other's name 

He stepped out of her mind 

And into the hall 

And they never saw each other again. 

Whoaa... 

And someone gave her a manual of love in the world today 

And that page is not pulpy because there is no proper way 

It's so easy for those with the unclenching eye 

To find some unfulfilled human being to fry 

She is looking for the kisses that she never got at home 

Her lips are puckered and she is walking alone 

And if she ends up with some dirty hot disease 

It's a small price she pays for the need to be pleased. 

And there are too few who open both eyes 

We sit back in our easy chairs and try to sympathize 

But whether from the point of a needle 

Or the edge of her bed 

Our heroine like too many others now is dead 

And lisa is lucky, she ended up with a baby boy 

She's 16 years old, doesn't know her body's not a toy 

Joel is hungry, he is doing the town 

Andrea is on the rebound. 

Walk to the corner and run from what you find 

We have to abort our cannibalistic state of mind. 

Everywhere she looked 

She looked through the corner of her eye 

And everytime she left she never turned to say goodbye 

Swaying in the corner of the ballroom 

Alone by the music 

She looked like a spiderweb. 

Fresh from the war 

He complements her bedroom decor 

She didn't know this time she was the victim 

He had nothing to lose anymore...
