Testo: Ani Difranco. Dilate. Shameless.

I cannot name this
I cannot explain this
And I really don't want to
Just call me shameless

I can't even slow this down
Let alone stop this
And I keep looking around
But I cannot top this

If I had any sense
I guess I'd fear this
I guess I'd keep it down
So no one would hear this

I guess I'd shut my mouth
And rethink a minute
But I can't shut it now
'Cause there's something in it

We're in a room without a door
And I am sure without a doubt
They're gonna wanna know how we got in here
They're gonna wanna know how we plan to get out

We better have a good explanation
For all the fun that we had
'Cause they are coming for us, baby
And they are going to be mad
They are going to be mad at us

This is my skeleton
This is the skin it's in
That is according to light
And gravity

I'll take off my disguise
The mask you met me in
Because I got something
For, for you to see

Just gimme your skeleton
Give me the skin it's in
Yeah baby, this is you
According to me

And I never avert my eyes
I never compromise
So never, nevermind
The poetry

We're in a room without a door
And I am sure without a doubt
They're gonna wanna know how we got in here
They're gonna wanna know how we plan to get out
We plan to get out

We better have a good explanation
For all the fun that we had
'Cause they are coming for us, baby
They are going to be mad
They are going to be mad at us

I gotta cover my butt 'cause I covet
Another man's wife
I got to divide my emotions
Between wrong and right

And then I get to see how close I can get to it
Without giving in
And then I get to rub up against it
Till I break the skin, rub up against it
Till I break the skin

Then they're gonna be mad at us
They're gonna be mad at me and you
They're gonna be mad at us
And all the things we wanna do

They're gonna be mad at us
They're gonna be at me and you
They're gonna be mad, mad, mad

Just please don't name this
Please don't explain this
Just blame it all on me
Say I was shameless

Say I couldn't slow it down
Let alone stop it
And say you just hung around
'Cause you couldn't top it
