Fire Door Lyrics - Ani Difranco - Ani Difranco

I opened the fire door 

To four lips 

None of which were mine 

Kissing 

Tightened my belt around my hips 

Where your hands were missing 

And stepped out into the cold 

Collar high 

Under the slate gray sky 

The air was smoking and the streets were dry 

And I wasn't joking when I said 

Good bye 

There were magazine quality men talking on the corner 

French, no less much less of them then us 

So why do I feel like something's been rearranged? 

You know, taken out of context I must seem so strange 

Killed a cockroach so big 

It left a puddle of pus on the wall 

When you and I are lying in bed 

You don't seem so tall 

I'm singing now because my tear ducts are too tired 

And my mind is disconnected but my heart is wired 

I make such a good statistic 

Someone should study me now 

Somebody's got to be interested in how I feel 

Just 'cause I'm here 

And I'm real 

Oh, how I miss 

Substituting the conclusion to confrontation with a kiss 

And oh, how I miss 

Walking up to the edge and jumping in 

Like I could feel the future on your skin 

I opened the fire door 

To four lips 

None of which were mine 

Kissing 

I opened the fire door
