Ani Difranco The Arrivals Gate Lyrics

The Arrivals Gate lyrics
Gonna go out to the arrivals gate at the airport
And sit there all day
Watch people reuniting, public affection so exciting
It even makes airports okay

Watching children run with their arms outstretched
Just to throw those arms around their grandpa's necks
Watching lovers plant kisses
Old men to their misses at the arrivals gate

Watching a mother with a mother's smile
Don't tell me to move, I just wanna sit here for a while
I have determined, it's a sure cure for cancer
Watching excitement turn family dogs into dancers

At the arrivals gate, at the arrivals gate
At the arrivals gate, at the arrivals gate

I got me a white bread sandwich with some shredded lettuce
And then I got me a ringside view for my quaint little fetish
I just wanna drain my little pink heart of all its malice
And kick back for the afternoon in this fluorescent palace

Everybody's in a hurry here in purgatory except for me
I'm where I need to be, except for me
I'm where I need to be, except for me
I'm where I need to be, here at the arrivals gate
