Fire Drills - Audiotree Live Version

I've been Wendy
 Living with the Lost Boys
 Youth spent as a deckhand on the convoy
 Moved every night to prove we were something
 Got confused if it was from or to that we were running
 I've seen Gibraltar
 I've seen the Taj Mahal
 Soweto, Hagia Sophia
 Chefchaouen paints their walls blue
 I've played to full rooms
 I've played the fool too
 Burning through the bottoms of a pair of new boots
 Cut my hair, tape my tits down
 A woman on her own must be from out of town
 Funny, you don't know the concessions
 that you're making until you catalog em
 And by then they're many and you're battle-hardened
 Heat makes liquid of the asphalt
 Keepsakes and parking tickets on the dashboard
 I'm here to file my report as the vixen of the wolf pack;
 Tell Patient Zero he can have his rib back
 You can count my ribs
 Wanna know what class I'm in
 Count my
 You can count my ribs
 You can't be too broke to break
 As a woman always something left to take
 So you shouldn't try to stay too late or talk to strangers
 Look too long, go too far out of range cause
 Angels can't watch everybody all the time
 Stay close, hems low, safe inside
 That formula works if you can live it
 But it works by putting half the world off limits
 You can count my ribs
 Wanna know what class I'm in
 Count my
 You can count my ribs, my
 We don't say, "Go out and be brave"
 Nah, we say "Be careful, stay safe"
 In any given instance, that don't hurt
 But it sinks in like stilettos in soft earth
 Like the big win is not a day without an incident
 I beg to differ with it
 I think a woman's worth
 I think that she deserves
 A better line of work
 Than motherfucking vigilance
 Don't give me vigilance
 By definition you can't make a difference
 If the big ambition
 Is simply standing sentry to your innocence
 That's not a way to live
 That can't be what a woman is
 That gives her nothing to aspire to
 What that is
 What that is
 Is just a life of running fire drills
 We're running fire drills
 We're running fire drills
 We're running fire drills
 We're running fire drills
 We're running fire drills
 We're running fire drills
 We're running fire drills
