Shameless - Ani DiFranco

i cannot name this

i cannot explain this

and i really don’t want to just call me shameless

i can’t even slow this down

late alone stop this

and i keep looking around

but i cannot top this

if i had any sense

i guess i’d fear this

i guess i’d keep it down

so no one would hear this

i guess i’d shut my mouth

and rethink a minute

but i can’t shut it now

'cuz there’s somthing in it we’re in a room without a door

and i am sure without a doubt

they’re gonna wanna know

how we got in here

and they’re gonna wanna know

how we plan to get out

we better have a good explanation

for all the fun that we had

'cuz they are coming for us, babe

and they are going to be mad

yeah, they’re going to be mad at us this is my skeleton

this is the skin it’s in that is, according to light

and gravity

i’ll take off my disguise

the mask you met me in

'cuz i got something

for you to see

just gimme your skeleton

give me the skin it’s in according to me

i never avert my eyes

i never compromise

so never mind

the poetry

i gotta cover my butt 'cuz i covet

another man’s wife

i gotta divide my emotions

into wrong and right

then i get to see how close i can get to it without giving in then i get to rub up against it till i break the skin

rub up against it till i break the skin

they’re gonna be mad at us they’re gonna be mad at me and you

they’re gonna be mad at us and all the thinks

we wanna do just please don’t name this

please don’t explain this

just blame it all on me say i was shameless

say i couldn’t slow it down

let alone stop it and say you just hung around

'cuz you couldn’t top it
