Happy Home (Keep On Writing) - Kimya Dawson.mp3

[00:13.90]There was a time in my life that
[00:15.30]I felt so all alone
[00:16.66]That I never thought that someday
[00:18.21]I would have a happy home
[00:19.71]A family and a four track radio shack microphone
[00:22.22]A backyard and a hammock and a paid off student load
[00:25.48]A backyard and a hammock and a paid off student load
[00:28.40]So if you see me and
[00:31.42]I'm dreaming
[00:34.22]About selling socks on ebay
[00:40.05]Shake me hard till
[00:43.00]I'm awake
[00:45.92]Stitches will unravel,
[00:48.86]the stitches will unravel
[00:51.77]The stitches will unravel if you knit with fishing line
[00:57.48]Though your cast will be refined
[01:00.15]You'd be better off with twine
[01:04.96]When I was a kid we would play
[01:06.47]Annie at recess
[01:07.58]I was always
[01:08.47]Sandy because
[01:09.23]I was the smallest
[01:10.37]From all that crawling on the blacktop
[01:11.89]There were holes in all my jeans,
[01:13.39]In the toes of my bowed shoes but
[01:14.84]I never complained
[01:16.25]Because I didn't think that
[01:17.91]I could sing
[01:19.10]See I never perfected that nasally thing
[01:21.88]All the kids sang in the school play
[01:24.98]Now I know it's better if we don't all sound the same
[01:28.10]Now I know it's better if we don't all sound the same
[01:31.05]So if you hear me and
[01:34.22]I'm screaming
[01:36.93]About auditions for Annie
[01:42.83]I hope you will try out with me
[01:48.64]There are parts for everybody
[01:54.21]And you don't need to be the dog unless
[01:57.32]you like being the doggy
[02:01.99]He's up against a team that he has never seen before
[02:04.56]And they march into the outfield like
[02:06.27]they're marching off to war
[02:07.26]It's a good one out to right field
[02:09.01]but they're quick and make the play
[02:10.48]And as the curtain closes he just bows and walks away
[02:13.12]Singing,
[02:13.83]"If you're breathing you are living
[02:15.13]If you're living you are learning
[02:19.32]So write and write and keep on writing
[02:22.35]Just make sure your life's exciting"
[02:25.26]So if you see me and
[02:28.31]I've joined the roller derby
[02:30.82]Know that
[02:32.07]I've become something
[02:33.77]I always wanted to be
[02:37.09]Fast and strong and part of a team

[02:48.52]You said
