about

song sourced from the 1999 Ani DiFranco album "Up Up Up Up Up Up", adapted for solo guitar and voice by Jed Drummond - this song in its original form is a fairly preachy and sanctimonious anti-drug song sung by Ani to a friend of hers who is an addict... i inverted it - hail Satan

lyrics

next to the glass ashtray
in a little plastic baggy
is a bitter rock remedy
really good stuff
but you take offense to the fact
that i'm so hellbent
what am i tryina tell you?
this world just isn't beautiful enough
i wanna get off
this is my stop
i gotta have my triple-decker super-fudge sundae
with a fuckin cherry on top
what makes me so lavish
that i can afford
to spend every sober moment
feeling angry and bored?

why don't i come away from it?

we used to hold hands down
those unfamiliar streets
i used to take you diving down
into the watery blue deep
but now i'm tryina find every tiny treasure
every shiny penny of pleasure
to satisfy my selfish purpose
before i swim back up to the surface

and i guess you think i think you don't like it anymore
but you'll tell me what you don't like
you don't like that you took it on your fuckin self
to put the training wheels back onto my bike
and you don't like all this extravagance
or the way i taste when you kiss me
you think i left you alone out here
baby don't you think i miss me?

Arum is astonishingly talented, and a wonderful human being to boot. Her voice and presence slew me the first time i heard her sing years ago, and only continue to do so. Jed Drummond
