Alanis Morissette › Purgatorying

Purgatorying Lyric by Alanis Morissette

Entertain me for the tenth hour in a row again
Anesthetize me with your gossip and many random anecdotes
And fill every hour with activity or ear candy
Drop me off at intersections in any city metropolitan

And keep me in this state
And keep me purgatorying
And sing me back to sleep
This is far more than I had bargained for

Start every week with a break-neck urgent design
And end every speed day with my briefcase representing free time
Spending my fruits my purchases become my lifeline
Please give my love to my family
Ill doubtfully be home at christmas time

Dont disturb me in this state
Please leave me purgatorying
Ill be damned if Im to wake
This is far more than I am equipped for

Ive held you up like a deity
Like youre the sole owner of wings
This unrequited tunnel vision
And I wonder why Ive not been writing

Please keep me in this state
Please keep me purgatorying
Please rock me back to sleep
This love is more than - than I have bargained for

Ill be damned if Im to wake
This is far more than Im equipped for
