you always got those dark sunglasses covering half your face but if you promise to take them off i promise i won't squander your gaze i will be picturesque i will be nice i won't do anything you can't tell your wife i will think before i act i will think twice just let me see your eyes each time we've spoken we've put in our token and ridden the tilt-a-whirl i was giggling and dizzy flirting like a twelve year old girl the carnival of you and me is coming to town watch how we spin and spin and then fall down now we just say hello and head for firmer ground you are the one-way glass that watches me standing in line at the bank i always looked into your glasses like a cat looks into a fish tank but all i could ever see was the specter of me reflected i want a monument of the friendship that we never had, erected i want to take up lots of room i want it to loom you always got those dark sunglasses between us when we talk but after the party is over if you want to take a walk we could just look around not do nothing wrong just try to be at least as brave as our songs i will bring my heart i will bring my face you name the time and place --- Loom - Ani DiFranco
