Annie Testo

Annie I hope things line up for you
All in a row, shiny and new
You can❝t keep living in one small room
When you never let anyone in
You never let anyone in
Annie you think the whole world❝s been cruel
All the stars took advantage of you
Your mother was cold, your daddy❝d no love
So you stomped your feet til they noticed
Stomped your feet til they put on the kid gloves
Now they❝re walking on eggshells, they❝re walking on glass
Sing you a lullaby each time you ask
Someday you❝ll pick yourself up off your ass and go.
Annie you think the boys never played fair
Tripping you up, sticking gum in your hair
But wherever you run, it❝s yourself you face there
And he might be gone when you need him
He might be long gone by the time you care
Now he❝s walking on eggshells,he❝s walking on glass
Sings you a lullaby each time you ask
Someday you❝ll pick yourself up off your ass and go
But Annie I love you, that❝s always been clear
It❝s the layers of history that won❝t let us hear
The twisted compassion that❝s burning our ears
The distance from there to here
The distance from there to here
Cuz I❝m walking on eggshells, I❝m walking on glass
Sing hallelujah each time that you pass
And Someday you❝ll pick yourself up off your ass and go
Cause you❝re gambling again and the stakes are too high
Your ante is fear, and my bet is desire
Took you far from the truth, and into the fire again
But Annie I hope things line up for you
All in a row, shiny and new
You can❝t keep living in one small room
When you never let anyone in, you never let anyone in,
Never let anyone in
