Fire Drills |
| I’ve been Wendy |
| Living with the Lost Boys |
| Youth spent as a deckhand on the convoy |
| Moved every night to prove we were something |
| Got confused if it was from or to that we were running |
| I’ve seen Gibraltar |
| I’ve seen the Taj Mahal |
| Soweto, Hagia Sophia |
| Chefchaouen paints their walls blue |
| I’ve played to full rooms |
| I’ve played the fool too |
| Burning through the bottoms of a pair of new boots |
| Cut my hair, tape my tits down |
| A woman on her own must be from out of town |
| Funny, you don’t know the concessions that you’re making until you catalog em |
| And by then they’re many and you’re battle-hardened |
| Heat makes liquid of the asphalt |
| Keepsakes and parking tickets on the dashboard |
| I’m here to file my report as the vixen of the wolf pack; |
| Tell Patient Zero he can have his rib back |
| You can count my ribs |
| Wanna know what class I’m in |
| Count my |
| You can count my ribs |
| You can’t be too broke to break |
| As a woman always something left to take |
| So you shouldn’t try to stay too late or talk to strangers |
| Look too long, go too far out of range cause |
| Angels can’t watch everybody all the time |
| Stay close, hems low, safe inside |
| That formula works if you can live it |
| But it works by putting half the world off limits |
| You can count my ribs |
| Wanna know what class I’m in |
| Count my |
| You can count my ribs, my |
| We don’t say, «Go out and be brave» |
| Nah, we say «Be careful, stay safe» |
| In any given instance, that don’t hurt |
| But it sinks in like stilettos in soft earth |
| Like the big win is not a day without an incident |
| I beg to differ with it |
| I think a woman’s worth |
| I think that she deserves |
| A better line of work |
| Than motherfucking vigilance |
| Don’t give me vigilance |
| By definition you can’t make a difference |
| If the big ambition |
| Is simply standing sentry to your innocence |
| That’s not a way to live |
| That can’t be what a woman is |
| That gives her nothing to aspire to |
| What that is |
| What that is |
| Is just a life of running fire drills |
| We’re running fire drills |
| We’re running fire drills |
| We’re running fire drills |
| We’re running fire drills |
| We’re running fire drills |
| We’re running fire drills |
| We’re running fire drills |
| We’re running fire drills |
| We’re running fire drills |
| We’re running fire drills |
| We’re running fire drills |
| We’re running fire drills |
| We’re running fire drills |
| We’re running fire drills |
| We’re running fire drills |
| We’re running fire drills |
