Rarity

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, around 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 hits on the radio No one knows who you are No big deal with a video So you're never gonna be a star You won't be attending Meetings with presidents Of companies pretending To protect their investments While they suck the gristle Off 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 f******ur 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 --- Rarity - Lucinda Williams and Buick Six
