Lyrics: New Arithmetic
(Daughters of Tzelofchad)
I’ve been trying to explain
The parts are different but the sum is the same
Trying to make you realize
That half the winners taking all of the prize
1 2 3 4 5
Still breathing still alive
But when I disappear
Will anybody know that I was here
Two sides of a river, two sides of a coin
And a place in the middle where both sides join
The light of the moon and the light of the sun
And a place in the dark where the two become one
5 4 3 2 1
You tell us how it’s done
But your daughters and your sons
Know a new arithmetic will come.
I’ve been trying to explain
what you call a theory I call a game
Trying to make you understand
that you can’t count the stars and you can’t count the sand.
1 2 3 4 5
Still breathing still alive
But when we disappear
Will anybody anybody anybody know that we were here
Lyrics: I’m Done Dressing Up
(Vashti)
I’m done dressing up for you, I’m done dressing up for you
So long I’m done, I’m done dressing up for you
You gave me a golden crown, you gave me a golden crown
Sometimes a golden crown just wears a person down
I’m done dressing up for you …
You say those people are your friends, you say those people are your friends
Where those people gonna be when the party ends
I’m done dressing up for you …
Get yourself a pretty new wife, get yourself a pretty new wife
I’ll walk out that door and get myself a life
I’m done dressing up …
