מילים לשיר 32 Flavors – Ani Difranco

squint your eyes and look closer
I'm not between you and your ambition
I am a poster girl with no poster
I am thirtyand I'm beyond your peripheral vision
so you might want to turn your head
and eat most of the words you just said
cause someday you're going to get hungry both my parents taught me about good will
is more than I can explain
and I have done well by their names
just the kindness I've lavished on strangers
still there's many who've turned out their porch lights
just so I would think they were not home
and hid in the dark of their windows and god help you if you are an ugly girl
til I'd passed and left them alone
cause everyone harbors a secret hatred
for the prettiest girl in the room
course too pretty is also your doom
and you dare to rise up from the ash
and god help you if you are a pheonix
a thousand eyes will smolder with jealousy
I'm not trying to give my life meaning
while you are just flying back and I would like to state for the record
by demeaning you
I did everything that I could do
no, I will never be a saint
I just don't want to live that way
I'm not saying that I'm a saint but I will always say
squint your eyes and look closer
I'm not between you and your ambition
I am a poster girl with no poster
I am thirtyAnd I'm beyond your peripheral vision
So you might want to turn your head
and eating all of the words you saidCause someday you might find you're starving.
