Indigo Girls - Pendulum Swinger lyrics

I meet you for coffee

We get together periodically

I got a bad case I can't shake off of me

The fevered walking round wondering how it ought to be

You work in the system

You see possibilities and your 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

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

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

Too hard just to go by a blind faith

But they left out the sisters

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
