Pendulum Swinger Lyrics - Despite Our Differences - Indigo Girls

I meet you for coffee 

We get together periodically and 

I got a bad case I can't shake off of me 

The fevered wanderin round wondering how it ought to be 

You work in the system 

You see possibilities and you're glistening 

Eyes show the hell you're gonna give 'em 

When they back off the mic for once and give it to a woman 

I dream like a mad one 

Brutal fantasies I catch as catch can 

I'm a psychic and a laywoman 

I see love and I like to make it happen 

What we get from your war walk 

The ticker of the nation breaking down like a bad clock 

I want the pendulum to swing again 

So that all your mighty mandate was just spitting in the wind

It doesn't come by the bullwhip 

It's not persuaded with your hands on your hips 

It's not the company of gunslingers 

The epicenter love is the pendulum swinger 

She is she is she is 

It's fine about the old scroll Sanskrit 

Gnostic gospels the da vinci code a smash hit 

Aren't we dying just to read it and relate it 

Too hard just to go by a blind faith 

But they left out the sisters 

I've been praying to a father god so long I really missed her 

The goddess of benevolence 

You should listen to your mama if you have a lick of sense left 

Pushed under by the main press, buried under a code of dress 

Relegated by the Vatican 

But you can't keep a spirit down that wants to get up again 

Photos 

If we're a drop in the bucket 

With just enough science to keep from saying f**k it 

Until the last drop of sun burns its sweet light 

Plenty revolutions left until we get this thing right
