Genie - Ani DiFranco

When I can hear something calling

From somewhere deep and far

I’m a genie in a bikini

Coming out of a jar

I float out of myself

And into the divine

But it ain’t all the time

Sometimes I’m stuck in my mind

But I’m sick of standing in the breadlines

With a hunger that just won’t quit

Sick of mining my own hillsides

For gems to sell at market

Just gonna sit here like Buddha

Under this here bodhi tree

Say goodbye to the game

Of what can I get for me

I just cried enough times

And I think I wore out my mind

You came out of the blue

Like twilight’s first star

And we picked up on each other

From somewhere deep and far

And we woke up married

After one drunk fuck

And I couldn’t believe you’d found me

I couldn’t believe my luck

Cuz I did my time

Before love came to find me
