Liz Phair and me

Ant in Alaska

I bought the remastered vinyl set of Liz Phair's first album. There are two 12" LPs and an extra 7" with three unreleased demos. I love them all so much, and everything sounds freaking awesome. Included is a CD of all songs on the plastic.

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?
An yeah, you 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

Well I look at the stars and I know you're under 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
As 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

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