Promiscuity - Ani DiFranco

Promiscuity is nothing more than traveling

There’s more than one way to see the world

And some of us like to stick close to home

And some of us are Columbus

What can I say?

Nature always gets her way

Nature always gets her way

And seeing the world through another’s eyes

Is like busting a window in a house of lies

And in the end you make up your own mind

And there’s wide open spaces

And little cornered off places

And check 'em out

Check 'em out

Take your time

How far is too far?

How much is enough?

You gotta test this stuff

I mean how you gonna know

What you need

What you like

Till you been around the block

A few times on that bike

I mean how you gonna know

Who you are

What you feel

Till you feel a few things

That just don’t feel real

And promiscuity is research and development

Evolution begs embellishment

And baby you’re a star

And you got two invisible eyes on society

And when society gets cruel

Make like you’re nature’s tool

Which you are

And nature always gets her way

Nature always gets her way

And monogamy is that carnival trophy you earn

When you throw that ball into that urn

It’s somewhat dumb luck, somewhat learned

And you just know when it’s your turn

And honesty is the hardest part

Yeah honesty is the highest art

And honestly i myself just started

And eureka I’m less broken hearted

I mean how you gonna know

What you need

What you like

Till you been around the block

A few times on that bike

I mean how you gonna know

Who you are

What you feel

Till you feel a few things

That just don’t feel real
