November in a rainstorm, the truest truth I heard The sound of babies crying in a hospital Oh, like a bed of rushes, they love out on the concrete floor Names, and dates, and I really can't remember anymore
We hardly tell the difference between one year and another Sun like pouring whiskey, snow shedding skins of lovers And, I grew up with magic; free and wild as Pushing for the boundary, through the edges of the concrete
I'm the girl that bought a cross the Rubicon And I'm not sure that even I where I'm coming from
Sentimental tango when I was just I could Astaire and Rogers tap their way across the screen Oh, bullied and belittled, until the sun set in the I wore my black skirt, all dressed up for Halloween
We could tell the difference between the shouting and the quiet It was the path of least resistance to stage my own riot And the walls tumbled like Babel, around my feet Rhyme came in rising through the wreckage and the concrete
I'm the girl that bought a cross the Rubicon I'm not that even I know where I'm coming from
For a girl who loves her words, yeah, she loves her more Found a better example of what and tongues are for There is truth in your arm's love, is truth in this song There is truth in the concrete and the nails that our are built upon
