Lyrics - Tiptoe by Difranco Ani

tiptoeing through the used condomsstrewn on the piersoff the west side highwaysunset behind the skyline of jerseywalking towards the waterwith a fetus holding court in my gutmy body highjackedmy tits swollen
I'm sorethe river has more colors at sunset than my sock drawer ever dreamed of
I could wake up screaming sometimesbut
I don't
I could step off the end of this pierbut
I've got shit to doand
I've an appointment on tuesdayto shed uninvited blood and tissue
I'll miss you
I say to the riverto the waterto the son ordaughter
I thought better of
I could fall in love with jersey at sunsetbut
I leavethe viewto the ratsand tiptoe back
