Swing [album Version] Lyrics - Swing Set - Ani Difranco

She came to and her 

Whole life was how she remembered it 

She had a mouth full of fur 

And she was laughing 

She parked her hearse across 

Three spaces posted motorcycles only 

And jumped out shouting 

Wha the cus could make a nice girl like us 

Feel so lonely? 

Are you weary as water 

In a faucet left dripping 

With an incessant sadness 

Like a sad record skipping 

And an ugly and ornery 

And shadowy dread 

Lurking like a troll under the bridge 

Between your heart and your head 

Please dumb blind kind sir 

Lend little miss listless a little bit of Christmas 

She's been a real good girl 

But now she's stuck here 

The world is so little and still 

Mysterious and ominous as ever before 

Like an unmarked bottle of pills 

On the shelf right next to the thing 

You were reaching for 

Swing the groove 'round here 

Where I can reach it 

When I get my ass back on track 

I'm gonna need it 

Swing shift til I get the money 

To buy me and my baby a moon full of honey 

Then I'm gonna turn off the nagging voices 

Inside my head 

That follow me to bed and say 

You suck 

If you dig it on the sound 

Break it down 

No walls up, break it down 

Break it down 

Happiness spread it all around 

Break it down 

Racism stomp it in the ground 

Break it down 

So if you dig it on the sound 

Break it down 

No walls up, break it down 

Break it down 

Ignorance stomp it in the ground 

Break it down 

Happiness spread it all around 

Break it down 

Check, who said folk and hip-hop can't latch 

Put us together on the stage and light a match 

Kaboom, guess who stepped in the room 

Sweeping you off your feet like we had a broom 

With Ani Difranco and Maceo 

Add a little freestyle flow and who knows 

Put a little scratchin' into the mix 

And it's enough to get you high if you need a fix 

So, if you dig it on the sound 

Break it down 

No walls up, break it down 

Break it down 

Ignorance stomp it in the ground 

Break it down 

Happiness spread it all around 

Break it down 

If you dig it on the sound 

Break it down 

No walls up, break it down 

Break it down 

Racism stomp it in the ground 

Break it down 

Happiness spread it all around 

Break it down 

So, if you dig it on the sound 

Break it down
