Ani Difranco - Akimbo lyrics

Words and music by Ani DiFranco

What dreams cause me

To abandon my pillow each night?

Push away each of them, in fact

Since there always seem to be more than one

Then wake to aching stiff neck twisted

Tits and face smashed against the mattress

Legs and arms akimbo

Like the high pitched body of a jumper

Waiting for her chalk outline

Finally at rest
