Allergic to Water - Ani DiFranco

[00:39]You can't even imagine
[00:42]The tortuous state I've been existing in
[00:48]I am allergic to water
[00:51]It itches my throat and it blisters my skin
[00:57]Still, I drink cuz I have to, I bathe cuz I have to
[01:03]But boy it's a pain
[01:06]But I don't cry
[01:08]Cuz it hurts to cry
[01:10]And I don't go outside in the rain
[01:24]And you may wonder what would possess
[01:28]Someone like me to go on
[01:33]You may wonder how it's possible
[01:36]Something so basic could go wrong
[01:42]And all I can say is
[01:43]If you stretch your mind all the way as far as it goes
[01:51]There's someone out there who lives further than that
[01:55]In a place you can never know
[02:35]So right now if you are looking at me
[02:39]You can assume that I am thirsty
[02:44]And a good day is one when that ache in my brain
[02:49]Can remain at a doable three
[02:53]And I don't really want your sympathy
[02:57]I'm just telling you so you'll understand
[03:03]This is me, sincerely
[03:07]Doin' the best that I can
[03:44]
