The Alice Band - Annie lyrics

Annie I hope things line up for you All in a row, shiny and new You can't keep on living in one small room When you never let anyone in, you never let anyone in Annie you think the whole world's been cruel All of the stars took advantage of you Your mother was cold and your daddy'd no love So you stomped your feet till they noticed You stomped your feet till they put on the kid gloves Now they're walking on egg shells, they're walking on gla** They sing hallelujah each time that you pa** Someday you'll pick yourself up off your a** and go Annie you think the boys never play it fair Tripping you up, sticking gum in your hair Wherever you run it's yourself you'll face there And he might be gone when you need him And he might be long gone when you find you care 'Cause he's walking on egg shells, he's walking on gla** He sings you a lullaby each time you ask And someday you'll pick yourself up off your a** and go Annie I love you, but that's always been clear, It's the layers of history that won't let us hear Twisted compa**ion that's burning our ears The distance from there to here The distance from there to here C'ause I'm walking on egg shells, I'm walking on gla** I sing you a lullaby eachtime you ask And someday you'll pick yourself up off your a** and go Coz your gambling again and the stakes are too high Your ante is fear, my bet is desire Took you far from the truth, into the fire again Annie I hope things line up for you All in a row, shiny and new You can't keep on living in one small room When you never let anyone in, you never let anyone in You never let anyone in, you never let anyone in
