Manhole

Ani Difranco

I'm holding here a book

Notable, but not the greatest

Stolen for me by the latest in a long line of thieves

And I'm just about to drop it down that man hole of memories

But I realized it doesn't bother me like loves mementos usually do

And I look up to see who’s different here, the latest me or the latest you

Course you're the kind of guy who doesn't lie he just doctors everything

Who chooses some unassuming finger and quietly moves his wedding ring

Who rewrites his autobiography for any pretty girl who will sing

But you can't fool the queen baby cause I married the king

It was I who betrayed his majesty though opposite reality

Like a pond with no reflection of the sky, of the trees

But after my dreaded big head and I tied that sucker back on with a string

And I guess I'm pretty different now, considering.

I kissed you on the street that night on the far side of for ??

But I knew you didn't like taste in my mouth or yours

And I know I am persona? you both? for my benefit

But once I had the balls to just call, and just call

The lesson must be lived in order to be learned

Clarity is the sea that stops the sound, that is what I learned.

It was I who betrayed his majesty though opposite reality

Like a pond with no reflection of the sky, of the trees

But after my dreaded big head and I tied that sucker back on with a string

And I guess I'm pretty different now, considering

I'm holding here a book, notable and not the greatest.

Stolen for me by the latest in a long line of thieves

And I'm just about to drop it down the man hole of memories

when I realize it doesn't bother me and heartache not so dire

when I look up to see integrity and finally one overt desire
