Slide Lyrics - Evolve - Ani Difranco

She was hungry so hungry 

And she was trying to think clear 

But she kept opening the fridge door 

And looking at the mustard and the beer 

And then finally she went out into the rain 

Carrying her bicycle chain 

And her feet worked the pedals 

While her appetite steered 

And after that she just followed her nose 

'cause fate is not just whose cooking smells good 

But which way the wind blows 

She laid down in her party dress and never got up 

Needless to say she missed the party 

She just got sad 

Then she got stuck 

She was wincing like something brittle 

Trying hard to bend 

She was numb with the terror 

Of losing her best friend 

But she never sees things changing 

She only sees them ending 

And some vicious whispering voice 

Keeps saying you have no choice 

'cause when I look at you I squint 

You are that beautiful 

And my pussy is a tractor 

And this is a tractor pull 

I'm haunted by my illicit, explicit dreams 

And I can't really wake up 

So I just drift in between 

Thinking the glass is half empty 

And thinking it's not quite full 

The pouring rain is no place for a bicycle ride 

Try to hit the breaks 

And you slide 

And you slide 

And you slide
