Ani Difranco - Virtue lyrics

Virtue is relative at best There's nothing worse than a sunset When you're driving due west And i'm afraid that my love Is gonna come up short There is no there there And i guess i'm scared 'cause i want to have good news to report Every time i come up for air Now i'm cruising through a chromakey blue sky But i know that in an hour or three The sun is gonna be in my eyes And i know that sometimes all i can see Is how i feel Like the whole world is on the other side Of a dirty windshield And i'm trying to see through the glare Yeah i'm struggling just to see what is there The one person who really knows me best Says i'm like a cat Yeah the kind of cat that you just can't pick up And throw into your lap No the kind who doesn't mind being held Only when its her idea Yeah the kind that feels what she decides to feel When she is good and ready to feel And now i am crawling through the backyard I am hiding under the car I have gotten out of everything I've gotten into so far I eat when i am hungry And i travel alone Just outside the glow of the house Is where i feel most at home But in the window you sometimes appear And your music is faint in my ear
