Ani DiFranco - Landing Gear (03.11.2008) Tampa

Another of Ani's newer songs, this one takes place during childbirth. Tampa Theatre, Tampa, March 2008.

This song is on Ani's upcoming album Red Letter Year to be released September 2008 from http://www.righteousbabe.com

hey little bag of sugar
floating in your biosphere
summon the courage
to put down your landing gear
and come out here

'cuz i am as exhausted
as a drowning polar bear
swimming around
looking for a ride
and it's so god awful hot outside

you're kicking me in the rib
every time adam tells what he did
man creates woman he says
sweeping his hand through the air
like mister show biz

you're gonna love this world
if it's the last thing i do
the whole extravagant joke
topped in bittersweet chocolate goo
for someone who ain't even here yet
look how much the world loves you
look how much the world loves you

candles are burning down
the music is fading
your pinata is torn
it is time to be born
yes, and death is at the door
peddling that old fashioned
blood and gore
here at the house of creation
cue the sobering moment
of revelation

you're gonna love this world
if it's the last thing i do
the whole extravagant joke
topped in bittersweet chocolate goo
for someone who ain't even here yet
look how much the world loves you
look how much the world loves you
