lyrics

the windows of my soul are made of one way glass
don’t bother looking into my eyes if there’s something you want
to know just ask
i got a dead bolt stroll
where i’m going is clear
i won’t wait for you
to wonder
i’ll just tell you why
i’m here
‘cause i know the
biggest crime
is to just throw
up your hands
say this has nothing
to do with me
i just want to live
as comfortably
as i can
you got to look outside
your eyes
you got to think outside
your brain
you got to walk outside
your life
to where the neighborhood
changes tell me
who’s your boogie man
that’s who i will be
you don’t have to like me
for who i am but we’ll see
what you’re made of by
what you make of me
i think it’s absurd that you think i
am the derelict daughter
i fight fire with words
words are hotter than flames
words are wetter than water
i got friends all over this country
i got friends in other countries too
i got friends i haven’t met yet
i got friends i never new
i got lovers who’s eyes
i’ve only seen at a glance
i got strangers
for great grandchildren
i got strangers for ancestors
i was a long time coming i’ll be a
long time gone
you got your whole life to do something
and that’s not very long
so why don’t you give me a call
when you decide you’re willing to fight
for what you think is real
for what you think is right
