"Slave (Girly-Sound Version)" lyrics - LIZ PHAIR
I can't remember the last time that I felt good for more than a week
I mean really good, for more than a month
'Cause I'm chasing a dream, and sometimes a dream doesn't set you free
Sometimes a dream is what makes you a slave
[Pre-Chorus:]
Makes you want to feel, makes you want to cry
Makes you want to tear the stars from the sky
And you're halfway there, but you're halfway down
And you just can't get your ass out of town
And you can't back up, 'cause you're against the wall
And it's the same goddamn thing I told you
[Chorus:]
(Baby, it's alright)
Sometimes a dream is what makes you a slave
(Baby, it's alright)
Sometimes a dream is what makes you a slave
And I think that's what's happened to me
'Cause I'm walking almost everyday blind
And I'm searching through my past in a way that isn't healthy
I'm hoping to find a good list of reasons to know that I'm special
To know that I'm different, to know that I'm better
[Pre-Chorus:]
Makes you want to feel, makes you want to cry
Makes you want to tear the stars from the sky
And you're halfway there, but you're halfway down
And you just can't get your ass out of town
And you can't back up, 'cause you're against the wall
And it's the same goddamn thing I told you
[Chorus:]
(Baby, it's alright)
Sometimes a dream is what makes you a slave
(Baby, it's alright)
Sometimes a dream is what makes you a slave
[Bridge:]
Look around
Do you see anyone for themselves
Like you see yourself?
So why do you still feel so all alone?
[Outro:]
Bubblegum, bubblegum in a dish
Bubblegum, bubblegum in a dish, how many pieces do you wish?
Bubblegum, bubblegum in a dish, how many pieces do you wish?
My mother told me to pick the very best one, and you are it
