"fair weather" by Ani DiFranco


for lee i'm cement
but behind the buttons on my blouse 
my heart is bent between fair weather 
and a woman who may never be
a woman who would be me
or the smell of women with a recipe
all those voices stirring jealousy 
into the sounds cooking in me
well, i lost five seconds to the powers that be
and then a man, some man defined chronologically
wet in my mind, dripping into the rest of me
for your desire distorts, disguises what comes naturally
oh, and soft smells from apartment two and some from outside
my body brings its smells to what it's tried
and some hair is healthy but all hair is dead
and i think that's what it's like in my head
for lee i'm cement 
but behind the buttons on my blouse 
my heart is bent between fair weather 
and a woman who may never be
