The Twilight Singers, Ani DiFranco - Bonnie Brae lyrics
[The Twilight Singers, Ani DiFranco - Bonnie Brae lyrics]
There was a rapture
So I can never see you any more
Nightmares believable
Walking into sweet oblivion
Not saying it's easy, no, no
To feel it all or not at all
When somebody says lay down your gun
And when you lay it down, get ready to run
Situation dire
It's gone away, it's not going away
Since you're wasting time again, my friend
On Bonnie Brae, on Bonnie Brae
If she's your master (If she's your master)
Then get down on your knees and beg for more
Not saying it's easier
(Not saying it's easier)
To live your life like her little whore
'Cause when you play with fire
Take your fate, it's not going away
Situation dire, on Bonnie Brae
On Bonnie Brae, on Bonnie Brae
The soul, the screen the smoke in between
The rise, the fall the thrill of
The first, the last the sins of the past
The burn, the fade
The skin that you've flayed come see the sun
Kill everyone but me, I’m free
Indubitably
There was a rapture (There was a rapture)
So I can never see you any more
(So I can never see you any more)
Not saying it's easier
(Not saying it's easier)
Not saying it's easier
(Not saying it's easier)
So I can never see you any more
Nightmares believable
Walking into sweet oblivion
Not saying it's easy, no, no
To feel it all or not at all
When somebody says lay down your gun
And when you lay it down, get ready to run
Situation dire
It's gone away, it's not going away
Since you're wasting time again, my friend
On Bonnie Brae, on Bonnie Brae
If she's your master (If she's your master)
Then get down on your knees and beg for more
Not saying it's easier
(Not saying it's easier)
To live your life like her little whore
'Cause when you play with fire
Take your fate, it's not going away
Situation dire, on Bonnie Brae
On Bonnie Brae, on Bonnie Brae
The soul, the screen the smoke in between
The rise, the fall the thrill of
The first, the last the sins of the past
The burn, the fade
The skin that you've flayed come see the sun
Kill everyone but me, I’m free
Indubitably
There was a rapture (There was a rapture)
So I can never see you any more
(So I can never see you any more)
Not saying it's easier
(Not saying it's easier)
Not saying it's easier
(Not saying it's easier)
