Welcome To Lyrics by Ani Difranco

Welcome To

welcome to...
no amount of stoned makes you feel okay
and welcome to...
this year's alone brought to you by christmas day
and welcome to...
the darkness into which prayin' people pray

yeah it's quiet here except for this song
now that everybody's gone
hey hey hey hey hey at least you don't have to play along today
you don't have to play along

and welcome to...
something like elation when you first open your eyes
just cuz it means that you must finally got to sleep last night
and welcome to...
the precipice between groundlessness and flight

yeah it's quiet here except for this song
now that everybody's gone
hey hey hey hey hey at least you don't have to play along today
you don't have to play along
no you don't have to play along
you don't have to play along

besides which, welcome to...
taking the good stuff down off of the shelf
and welcome to...
the art of conversation with yourself
and welcome to...
humming half of a broken tune all day long

and it's quiet here

hey hey hey hey hey least you don't have to play along today
no you don't have to play along
no you don't have to play along

hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey
hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey
hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey
hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey
