Ant in Alaska - Unreleased B-side Songtext

von Liz Phair

Call me when you think the coast is clear
I've been hiding out almost a year

Is there something wrong?
What's taking you so long?
And yeah, I know it's not easy

You said if I waited it'd pay off
But my eyes are growing wild
And my body's gone soft

Is there something wrong?
What's taking you so long?
And yeah, I know it's not easy

You said I should let go of your hand
But I don't even know if I can
You're the only one, you are the very sun to me
And you know it's not easy

You'd tell me, wouldn't you
If we needed to talk?
And you'd tell me, wouldn't you
If I'd pissed you off?

Is there something wrong?
What's taking you so long?
And yeah, I know it's not easy

Well, I look at the stars
And I know you're under them
I look at the cars
And I know you insure them

I look at the books
And things people are reading
I know that you've written them too
You've got so many little things to do

But then I look at my life
And I know you've forgotten
The promise you made to me
I think that's rotten

I'm hopelessly lost and there's hardly a sound anymore
Coming through that can show me around
'Cause I'm endlessly, endlessly searching the crowd

Looking for something from you
Just one fucking, measly clue
Any shitty little tip off would do
But I'm just an ant in Alaska to you

Then I look at the stars
And I know you're under them
I look at the cars
And I know you insure them

I look at the books
And the things people are reading
I know that you've written them too
You've got so many little things to do

But then I look at my life
And I know you've forgotten
The promise you made to me
I think that's rotten

I'm hopelessly lost and there's hardly a sound anymore
Coming through that could show me around
'Cause I'm endlessly, endlessly searching the crowd

Looking for something from you
Just one fucking, measly clue
Any shitty little tip off would do
But I'm just and ant in Alaska to you

I'm just an ant in Alaska
An ant in Alaska
An ant in Alaska to you
