welcome to - ani difranco

welcome to...
no amount of snow can make you feel okay
and welcome to...
this year's alone brought to you by Christmas day
and welcome to...
the darkness into which prayin' people pray
yeah it's quiet here except for this song
now that everybody's gone
hey hey hey hey hey at least you don't have to play along today
you don't have to play along
welcome to...
something like elation when you first open your eyes
just cuz it means that you must have finally got to sleep last night
welcome to...
the precipice between groundlessness and flight
yeah it's quiet here except for this song
now that everybody's gone
hey hey hey hey hey at least you don't have to play along today
you don't have to play along
no you don't have to play along
you don't have to play along
besides which, welcome to...
taking the good stuff down off of the shelf
welcome to...
the art of conversation with yourself
and welcome to...
humming half of a broken tune all day long
and it's quiet here
hey hey hey hey hey least you don't have to play along today
no you don't have to play along
no you don't have to play along
hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey
hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey
hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey
hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey
