beautiful but boring

Ani Difranco lyrics from various songs.

"I am watching the sun stumble home in the morning
from a bar on the east side of town
and the coffee is just water dressed in brown
beautiful but boring"

"I am watching your chest rise and fall
like the tides of my life,
and the rest of it all
and your bones have been my bedframe
and your flesh has been my pillow"

"I'm getting used to you
I could love you, yeah
I've entertained the thought
but I could never like you
so I guess I'd better not "

"I want you to pay me for my beauty
I think it's only right
'cause I have been paying for it
all of my life"

"and god help you if you are an ugly girl
course too pretty is also your doom
cause everyone harbors a secret hatred
for the prettiest girl in the room
and god help you if you are a pheonix
and you dare to rise up from the ash
a thousand eyes will smolder with jealousy
while you are just flying back"
