modulation - Ani DiFranco

In order to

Say thank you to you

I must do it intentionally

But tonight with every breath

I can feel my death

Sure as I can feel my knees

You were my modulation

So that’s what you will always be

We took each other higher

We set each other free

Course, neither of us were wearing helmets

And our blood was just everywhere

And when the morphine kicked in later

The censors threw their hands up in despair

And that’s when the truth came marching in

And promptly pulled the plug

But you were better than any drug

You were better than any drug

In order to

Say thank you to you

I must do it intentionally

But tonight with every breath

I can feel my death

Sure as I can feel my knees

You were my modulation

And that’s what you will always be

We took each other higher

Then we set each other free
