Give Up The Keys
1996 L. Fiorentino

It’s time to give up the keys boys
Time to turn in your hands
Time for ripping up leases and corporate ladders
Wrinkle those creases, where it’s folded won’t matter
You’re not going to need a tie to match the suit that’s under your skin
From my girl to the tip of your fin
You may start out alone up at the microphone
And it’s time to give up the keys boys, time to turn in your hands
It’s not your fault, it’s the strength of a dream
But there’s a skate in the way and ice in between
It’s the color of where you want e to be
From Bejing through the desert under one canopy
Ahah nbut the jungle it steals me and hides me on the coast
Where the sound of your wetness, oh
It shakes me the most

I’m dying, I’m sailing, I’m flying, I’m flailing

‘Cause it’s time to give up the keys boys
Time to turn in your hands
Put them over your heart
Feel it beating don’t be afraid
It’s through us you were made
And we would never tear us apart
Pick up your toys, clean up your room
Someone’s got to go out shopping
To refurnish the womb
I’m looking for pools of water from your piano
Pools of light from your strings
Give me hope, give me love
Give me peace from your mechanical things
Because it’s time
I believe in you and me
It’s gone on this way for a reason
And it’s time

"Being part of a Laurianne Fiorentino performance is to be gently guided from the everyday to a plane of beauty and understanding that presents to us the possibilities of the psycho-spiritual worlds we all seek with our beings."
