Out Of Habit Lyrics - Ani Difranco - Ani Difranco

The butter melts out of habit 

The toast isn't even warm 

The waitress and the man in the plaid shirt 

Play out a scene they've played 

So many times before 

I am watching the sun stumble home in the morning 

From a bar on the east side of town 

And the coffee is just water dressed in brown 

Beautiful but boring 

He visited me yesterday 

He noticed my fingers 

And asked me if I would play 

I didn't really care a lot 

But I couldn't think of a reason why not 

I said if you don't come any closer I don't mind if you stay 

My thighs have been involved in many accidents 

And now I can't get insured 

And I don't need to be lured by you 

My cunt is built like a wound that won't heal 

And now you don't have to ask 

Because you know how I feel 

You know how I feel 

Art is why I get up in the morning 

But my definition ends there 

And it doesn't seem fair 

That I'm living for something I can't even define 

There you are right there 

In the meantime 

I don't want to play for you anymore 

Show me what you can do 

Tell me what are you here for 

I want my old friends 

I want my old face 

I want my old mind 

Fuck this time and place 

The butter melts out of habit
