Testo Coming Up - Ani DiFranco
Testo della canzone Coming Up (Ani DiFranco), tratta dall'album Not a Pretty Girl
Our father
Who art in a penthouse
Sits in his 37th floor suite
And swivels to gaze down
At the city he made me in
He allows me to stand and
Solicit graffiti
Until he needs the land I stand on
And I in my darkened threshold
Am pawing through my pockets
The receipts
The bus schedules
The urgent napkin poems
The matchbook phone numbers
All of which laundering has rendered
Pulpy and strange
Loose change and a key
Ask me
Go ahead
Ask me if I care
I got the answer here
I wrote it down somewhere
I just gotta find it
And somebody and their spray paint
Got too close
Somebody came on too heavy
Now look at me
Made ugly
By the drooling letters
I was better off alone
Ain't that the way it is?
They don't know the first thing
But you don't know that
Til they take the first swing
My fingers are red and swollen from the cold
I'm getting bold in my old age
So go ahead
Try the door
It doesn't matter any more
I know the weak hearted
Are strong willed
And we're being kept alive
Until we're killed
He's up there
The ice is clinking in his glass
He sends us little pieces of paper
I don't ask
I just empty my pockets
And wait
It's not fate
It's just circumstance
I don't fool myself
With romance
I just live
Phone number to phone number
Dusting them against my thighs
In the warmth of my pockets
Which whisper history
Incessantly asking me
Where were you?
I lower my eyes
Wishing I could cry more
And care less
Yes it's true
I was trying to love someone again
I was caught caring, bearing weight
But I love this city
This state
This country is too large
And whoever's in charge up there
Had better take the elevator down
And put more than change in our cup
Or else we
Are coming
Up
