Annie (Live)

Annie I hope things line up for you

All in a row shiny and new

You can't keep on living in one small room

You never let anyone in

You never let anyone in

And Annie you think the whole world's been cruel

All the stars took advantage of you

Your mother was cold and your daddy'd no love

So you stomped your feet 'til they noticed

You 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 that you pass

Someday you'll pick yourself up off your a*s and go

And Annie you think the boys never played fair

Tripping you up sticking gum in your hair

Wherever you run it's yourself you'll face there

And he might be gone when you need him

He might be gone when you find you care

'Cause he's walking on eggshells he's walking on glass

He sings you a lullaby each time you ask

Someday you'll pick yourself up off your a*s and go

And 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

'Cause I'm walking on eggshells I'm walking on glass

We sing you a lullaby each time you ask

And someday you'll pick yourself up off your a*s and go

'Cause you're gambling again and the stakes are too high

Your ante is fear my bet is desire

Took you far from the truth and into the fire again

And Annie I hope things line up for you

All in a row shiny and new

You can't keep on living in one small room

When you never let anyone in you never let anyone in you never let anyone in
