Annie lyrics

Annie, I hope things line up for you
All in a row, shiny and new
You can`t keep living in one small room
When you never let anyone in
You never let anyone in

Annie, you think the whole world`s been cruel
All the stars took advantage of you
Your mother was cold, your daddy`d no love
So you stomped your feet til they noticed
Stomped your feet til they put on the kid gloves

Now they`re walking on eggshells, they`re walking on glass
They sing you a lullaby each time you ask
Someday you`ll pick yourself up off your ass and go.

Annie, you think the boys never played fair
Tripping you up, sticking gum in your hair
But wherever you run, it`s yourself you face there
And he might be gone when you need him
He might be gone by the time you care

Now he`s walking on eggshells, he`s walking on glass
Sings you a lullaby each time you ask
Someday you`ll pick yourself up off your ass and go

But Annie, I love you, that`s always been clear
It`s the layers of history that won`t let us hear
The twisted compassion that`s burning our ears
The distance from there to here
The distance from there to here

`Cause I`m walking on eggshells, I`m walking on glass
We sing hallelujah each time that you pass
End Someday you`ll pick yourself up off your ass and go
`Cause you`re gambling again and the stakes are too high
Your ante is fear, and my bet is desire
Took you far from the truth, and into the fire again

But Annie, I hope things line up for you
All in a row, shiny and new
You can`t keep living in one small room
When you never let anyone in, you never let anyone in, never let anyone in
