Rarity Lyrics - Little Honey - Lucinda Williams

You are a rarity 

Your eyes say wisdom 

Your skin says frailty 

Your mouth says listen 

Your voice a cello 

Your words speak volumes 

In and out, around flow 

Like Leonard Cohen's 

Since you were invented 

Since you came along 

No one's even attempted 

To come close to the beauty of your song 

No hits on the radio 

No one knows who you are 

No big deal with a video 

So you're never gonna be a star

You won't be attending 

Meetings with presidents 

Of companies pretending 

To protect their investments 

While they suck the gristle 

Off the bones of your art 

Unfaithful and fickle 

Seductive and smart 

They'll say you're a rarity 

And sleep in your bed 

And strangle your purity 

And leave you for dead 

They'll call you little honey 

And write you a check 

Seduce you with money 

And fuck your respect 

Photos 

For offering a small glimpse 

Through your secret door 

Of your intellect and brilliance 

You deserve so much more 

'Cause you, you're a rarity 

Your eyes say wisdom 

Your skin says frailty 

Your mouth says listen
