| The lyric of Manhole, Ani Difranco's song Notablebut not the greatest Stolen for me by the latest In a long line of thieves And I m just about to drop it Down that manhole of memories When I realize it doesn t bother me Like love s mementos usually do And I look up to see who s different here The latest me or the latest you Courseyou re the kind of guy who doesn t lie He just doctors everything Chooses some unassuming finger And quietly moves his wedding ring Who rewrites his autobiography For any pretty girl who ll sing But you can t fool the queenbaby Cuz I married the king And maybe it was I who betrayed his majesty With no opposite reality Like a puddle with no reflection Of the sky or the trees But after my dreaded beheading I tied that sucker back on with a string And I guess I m pretty different now Considering I kissed you on the street that night On the far side of four But I didn t like the taste In my mouth or yours And ignoring the persona you wore for my benefit For once I had the balls to call it Just call it But a lesson must be lived In order to be learned And the clarity to see and stop this now That is what I ve earned And maybe it was I who betrayed his majesty With no opposite reality Like a puddle with no reflection Of the sky or the trees But after my dreaded beheading I tied that sucker back on with a string And I guess I m pretty different now Considering I m holding here a book Notablebut not the greatest Stolen for me by the latest In a long line of thieves And I m just about to drop it Down that manhole of memories When I realize it doesn t bother me And heartache not so dire Cuz I looked up to see integrity Finally won over desire
