Ani Difranco - The Arrivals Gate lyrics

Gonna go out To the arrivals gate at the airport And sit there all day Watch people reuniting Public affection so exciting It even makes airports ok Watching children run With their arms outstretched Just to throw those arms Around thei'r grandpa's neck Watching lovers plant kisses Old men to their misses At their arrivals gate Watching a mother With a mother's smile Don't tell me to move I just wanna sit here for a while I have determined It's a sure cure for cancer Watching excitement turn family dogs Into dancers At the arrivals gate I got me a white bread sandwich With some shredded lettuce And i go tme a ringside view For my quaint little fetish I just wanna drain my pink little heart Of all its malice And kick back for the afternoon In this fluorescent palace Everybody's in a hurry Here in purgatory Except for me I'm where i need to be At the arrivals gate
