Ani Difranco Bodily Lyrics

Bodily Lyrics

You broke me bodily

The heart ain't the half of it

And I'll never learn to laugh at it

In my good natured way



In fact I'm laughing less in general

But I learned a lot at my own funeral

And I knew you'd be the death of me

So I guess that's the price I pay



So I'm trying to make new memories

In cities where we fell in love

My head just barely above

The darkest water I've ever known



Yeah, you had me in that cage

You had me jumpin' through those hoops for you

Still, I think I'd stoop for you

Stoop for your eyes alone



From that bomb shell moon in yet another lovely dress

To the deep mahogany sheen of a roach

I am trying to take an appreciative approach

To life in your wake



And I focus on the quiet now

And, and occasionally I'll fall asleep somehow

And emptiness has its solace

In that there's nothing left to take
