Over the Rhine - Everyman's Daughter lyrics

Look inside for the elusive goldmine. Broken gla** and a little cheap wine Is all that I can find. And bundles of contradictions, My heart full of loose connections, Hands across my eyes. I cannot disguise I'm everyman's daughter. It's always the same old question. Who am I and whose invention? This armour's full of dust. There's so much of us in each other. If I hate you you're my best reminder Of all I wish I was. I hate you just because I'm everyman's daughter. Who do you think that I am? It don't matter long as we can understand. I am hurting someone. I am hurting someone just like, just like you. Insulting the wounds of others, My sisters, my brothers, My vision's way too good. I carry the inward aching. Like you, I too am naked. I don't look that good, But this is flesh and blood. I'm everyman's daughter. Look at all the blood we've spilt. I can't deal with all this fundamental guilt. I am hurting someone. I am hurting someone just like, just like you. I am. I am. I am everyman's daughter.
