Ani Difranco( Angela Maria DiFranco )

Emancipated
emancipated
kinda
well-directed
brilliantly casted
riding the Greyhound
down to the city
with her fake I.D.
and a hell of a little handbasket
little game of seesaw
then he came to claim her
and then a sorted line
formed behind him
reproductive system
newly activated
she participated
in nature's plan
she participated...
and i can't say i envy her
i don't think i'm missing (?i don't think i'll miss her?)
wrought iron cobwebs (?wire and cobwebs?)
and open windowpane
all over the city
ain't nobody
the city seducing her
on tiptoe and kissing
roll the dice
don't think twice
roll the dice
so she took the dance classes
she learned the little dance
and she tried the high heels
but she couldn't bring herself to prance
and all the while a faint ticking
in the silence between the songs
?just smelled to her blood? (?just smiled in her gut?)
like tiny time bombs

and love comes in many forms
for each she would yearn
just hungry and astute
a hunger to learn
every species of person
every flavor of intent
and the body pulsing
at the scent of the intent
now all the good graffiti
got painted over in time
she watched the last faceless chain
replace the last five and dime
she wondered if
the only noble thing
is to just get a big garden
and plant it in the spring
and kiss the city goodbye
in a big graceful gesture
and focus on the moon's groove
and groove with the moon
just focus on the moon's groove
and groove with the moon
just focus on the moon's groove
and groove with the moon
and i can't say i envy her
i don't think i'm missing (?i don't think i'll miss her?)
wrought iron cobwebs (?wire and cobwebs?)
all over the city
ain't nobody
the city seducing her
on tiptoe and kissing
don't think twice
roll the dice
roll the dice
