Lucinda Williams - Rarity lyrics

You are a rarity your eyes say wisdom
Your skin says frailty
Your mouth says listen

Your voice a cello your words speak volumes
In and out, a rhyme flow
Like Leonard Cohen's

Since you were invented since you came along
No one's even attempted
To come close to the beauty of your song
No hit's on the radio
No one knows who you are
No big deal with a video
So you're never gonna be a big star

You won't be attending
Meetings with presidents
Of companies pretending
To protect their investments

While they suck the gristle
Of the bones of your art
Unfaithful and fickle seductive and smart

They'll say you're a rarity
And sleep in your bed
And strangle your purity
And leave you for dead

They'll call you little honey
And write you a check seduce you with money
And fuck your respect

For offering a small glimpse
Through your secret door
Of your intellect and brilliance
You deserve so much more
'Cause you, you're a rarity
Your eyes say wisdom your skin says frailty
Your mouth says listen
