Ani Difranco Rain Check Lyrics

Rain Check Lyrics

As dolls go I am broken

And you could just let that get us off the hook

But from under the umbrella of the unspoken

I see you giving me that look



Baby, you're right as rain about the benefits

But you might be wrong about the costs

And it feeds my heart that you came looking for me

But I'm thinking I need to stay lost



So I won't say, "I saw you fibbing

Or jump-jigging across the floor"

I won't say, "You walked me to my car

And draped your arm on my open door"



I know my mind is made of matter

But I need to know exactly

What is the matter at it's core?

Yes, because my heart is just a muscle

Oh yes its simply put, it's sore



So, so never mind about the benefits

And never mind about the costs

That don't change the basic premises

In which I am surely lost



So, I won't say, "I saw you fibbing

Or jump-jigging across the floor"

I won't say, "You walked me to my car

Draped your arm on my open door"
