Alice Band, The - Annie lyrics

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 Where you never let anyone in, you never let anyone in Annie you think the whole world's been cruel All of the stars took advantage of you Your mother was cold and your daddy'd no love So you stomped your feet till they noticed You stomped your feet till they put on their care gloves Now they're walking on anxious, they're walking on glass They sing hallelujah each time that you pass Someday you'll pick yourself up of your ass and go 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 And he might be long gone when you find you care 'Cause he's walking on anxious, he's walking on glass He sings you a lullaby each time you ask And someday you'll pick yourself up of your ass and go Annie I love you, but that's always been clear, It's the layers of history that won't let us hear Twisted compassion that's burning our ears The distance from there to here The distance from there to here C'ause I'm walking on anxious, I'm walking on glass I sing you a lullaby eachtime you ask And someday you'll pick yourself up of your ass and go If your gambling again and the seats are too high Your anti- sphere and my bed is disire Took you far from the truth, heat and fire again 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, you never let anyone in
