Recorded in 2012 with the Gloria Darlings

lyrics

I'm an animal, so stay away. Don't lie your lies to me.
I'm an alien and I'm leaving soon. There's no buying time with me.

This room is full, we've paid our way,
and no one has a word to say.
There's a million reasons we're all still here,
and another for leaving today.

Gonna take these shoes, these hand-me-downs,
and ride to the rising sun.
Gonna bring these women my riches
when the battle is finally won.

There's a silhouette of a leafless tree
and the crows are flocking there.
Well, I've done my time, I've saved my dimes.
Gonna go where life ain't fair.

I've got hidden swords all over me.
I'm a fortress of disease.
I've got hidden songs and haunting dreams.
I'm gone, so mote it be.

There is a connecting thread of spirituality, healing and liberation weaving through her work.
