You And Me Of The 10,000 Wars
Indigo Girls Song Lyrics




Words and Music: Emily Saliers

You and me of the 10,000 wars
Dividing life into factions of pleasures and chores
A bed to be made and a bed to lie in
A hand in the darker side
And our sights set on Zion
The heart of a skeptic and the mind of a child
Put my life in a box
And let my imagination run wild
Pour the cement from my feet
The heart and the mind on a parallel course
Never the two shall meet

And all the dissatisfied with the satisfied
Everybody loves a melodrama and a scandal of lies
But still you held your arms open for the prodigal daughter
I see my eyes in your eyes through my eyes
Still water

Try making one and one make one
Twist the shapes until everything comes undone
Watch the wizard behind the curtain
The larger than life and the power of seeming certain
The evil ego and the vice of pride
Is there ever anything else that can make us take our different sides
I wanted everything to feed me
Bout as full as I got of myself and the 
Upper echelons of mediocrity

And all the dissatisfied with the satisfied
Everybody loves a melodrama and a scandal of lies
But still you held your arms open for the prodigal daughter
I see my eyes in your eyes through my eyes
Still water (still water)
Still water (still water)

After the battle and we're still around
Everything once up in the air has settled down
Sweep the ashes, let the silence find us
The moment of peace is worth every war behind us
You and me of the 10,000 wars
