Indigo Girls - Reunion lyrics

I had guards like watchdogs Dogs in a manger I could feel the protection Possession and anger And I drove out of there With no one behind me Feeling funny and free All you pretty pretenders Negligent vendors Aren't you precious inside I have no need for anger With intimate strangers And I got nothing to hide Yeah I laughed as I said it This is my situation It's not pictures or privilege It's just self preservation I don't want you to feel Any obligation It feels so funny to be free All you pretty pretenders Negligent vendors Aren't you precious inside I have no need for anger With intimate strangers And I got nothing to hide We act empty and innocent But we are fueled by distortions (I remember you) Of lives led in discontent (when we were shiny and new) Trading misfortunes (now you guard your faith) Cause faith is one thing That is hard to deliver (temper your speed) It feels so funny to be free All you pretty pretenders Negligent vendors Aren't you precious inside I have no need for anger With intimate strangers And I got nothing to hide I got nothing to hide All of us aren't we Pretty pretenders Negligent vendors Aren't we precious inside I have no need for anger With intimate strangers And I got nothing to hide I got nothing to hide I had guards like watchdogs Dogs in a manger (I remember you)
