Ani Always Says It Best

UNTOUCHABLE FACE: By Ani Difranco
Think I'm going for a walk now
I feel a little unsteady
I don't want noone to follow me except maybe you
I could make you happy, you know if you weren't already
I could do a lot of things and I do
Tell you the truth I prefer the worst of you
too bad you had to have a better half
she's not really my type
but I think you two are forever
and I hate to say it, but you're perfect together
So fuck you and your untouchable face
fuck you for existing in the first place
and who am I that I should be vying for your touch
who am I
bet you can't even tell me that much
2:30 in the morning my gas tank will be empty soon
neon sign on the horizon rubbing elbowes with the moon
safe haven of the sleepless where the deep fryer's always on
radio is counting down top 20 country songs
Out on the porch the fly strip is waving like a flag in the wind
you know I really don't look forward to seeing you again
You look like a photograph of yourself taken from far far away
and I won't know what to do and I won't know what to say
Except fuck you and your untouchable face
and fuck you for existing in the first place
and who am I, that I should be vying for your touch
who am I, I bet you cant even tell me that much
I see you when I'm so perplexed
what was I thinking what will I think of next
where can I hide
in the back room there's a lamp that hangs over the pool table
and the fan that's on it swings gently side to side
there's a changing constellation of balls as we are playing
I see orion and say nothing the only thing I can think of saying is
Fuck you and your untouchable face
and fuck you, for existing in the first place
and who am I, that I should be vying for your touch
who am I, I bet you cant even tell me that much
