Ani Difranco - Emancipated Minor lyrics

Your rating:



Emancipated minor

Well directed, brilliantly casted

Riding a Greyhound down to the city

With her fake I.D. and a hell of a little hand basket



Little game of seesaw, then he came to claim her

And then a sordid line formed behind him

Reproductive system newly activated

She participated in nature's plan, she participated



And I can't say I envy her, I don't think I miss it

Wrought iron cobwebbing over thin windowpanes

The city seducing you on tiptoe to kiss it

Don't think twice, just roll the dice, roll the dice



So she attended the dance classes and she learned the little dance

And she tried the high heels but she couldn't bring herself to prance

All the while a faint ticking in the silence between the songs

Just south of her gut two tiny time bombs



And love comes in many forms and for each she would yearn

Hungry as a student, hunger to learn

Every flavor of person, every species of intent

With the body pulsing at the center detent



But all the good graffiti got painted over in time

She watched the last faceless chain replace the last five and dime

And she wondered if the only noble thing

Ain't to just to get a big garden and plant it in the spring



Kiss the city goodbye in some big graceful gesture

And focus on the moon's groove, groove with the moon

Focus on the moon's groove and groove with the moon

Focus on the moon's groove, groove with the moon



And I can't say I envy her, I don't think I miss it

Wrought iron cobwebbing over thin windowpanes

The city seducing you on tiptoe to kiss it

Don't think twice, just roll the dice, roll the dice

Roll the dice, roll the dice
