Ani Difranco - AIDS lyrics

Everywhere she looks She looks through the corner of her eye Everytime she left She never turned to say goodbye Swaying in the corner of the ballroom Alone by the music She looked like a spiderweb Fresh from the war He complements her bedroom decor She crawled in there like water She drowned in there on the floor She left him gasping for air And crying for more And the morning sun was embarra**ed to find them Lying together Neither could remember the other's name He stepped out of her mind And into the hall And they never saw each other again Whoaa... And someone gave her a manual of love in the world today And that page is not pulpy because there is no proper way It's so easy for those with the unclenching eye To find some unfulfilled human being to fry She is looking for the kisses that she never got at home Her lips are puckered and she is walking alone And if she ends up with some dirty hot disease Its a small price she pays for the need to be pleased And there are too few who open both eyes We sit back in our easy chairs and try to sympathize But whether from the point of a needle Or the edge of her bed Our h**ne like too many others now is dead And lisa is lucky, she ended up with a baby boy She's 16 years old, doesn't know her body's not a toy Joel is hungry, he is doing the town Andrea is on the rebound Walk to the corner and run from what you find We have to abort our cannibalistic state of mind Everywhere she looked She looked through the corner of her eye And everytime she left she never turned to say goodbye Swaying in the corner of the ballroom Alone by the music She looked like a spiderweb Fresh from the war He complements her bedroom decor She didn't know this time she was the victim He had nothing to lose anymore...
