Indigo Girls – Pendulum Swingers

I meet you for coffee We get together periodically and I got a bad case I can't shake off of me The fevered wanderin round wondering how it ought to be You work in the system You see possibilities and you're glistening Eyes show the hell you're gonna give 'em When they back off the mic for once and give it to a woman I dream like a mad one Brutal fantasies I catch as catch can I'm a psychic and a laywoman I see love and I like to make it happen What we get from your war walk The ticker of the nation breaking down like a bad clock I want the pendulum to swing again So that all your mighty mandate was just spitting in the wind It doesn't come by the bullwhip It's not persuaded with your hands on your hips It's not the company of gunslingers The epicenter love is the pendulum swinger She is she is she is It's fine about the old scroll Sanskrit Gnostic gospels the da vinci code a smash hit Aren't we dying just to read it and relate it Too hard just to go by a blind faith But they left out the sisters I've been praying to a father god so long I really missed her The goddess of benevolence You should listen to your mama if you have a lick of sense left Pushed under by the main press, buried under a code of dress Relegated by the Vatican But you can't keep a spirit down that wants to get up again If we're a drop in the bucket With just enough science to keep from saying fuck it Until the last drop of sun burns its sweet light Plenty revolutions left until we get this thing right 2006 words and music: Emily Saliers
