Anny Celsi: Music

Empty Hangers

(Anny Celsi)
Anny Celsi

Every girl deserves a nervous breakdown
 Don’t you think that she’s got what it takes
 Would you listen if she told you she was just about to fold
 From holding that basket of snakes


 Any clock can lose a couple seconds
 No her timing’s never good enough
 If you want exact amounts, someone else will have to count
 Cause she can’t keep track of that stuff


 Sometimes she feels like
 A closet full of empty hangers
 A nest of black and twisted wire
 At any moment tied and tangled
 She’ll come crashing to the floor


 Every rookie feels a little awkward
 Would you say she catches like a girl
 Round her head the pitches fly, she just lets them all go by
 She can’t keep up in this world


 Sometimes she feels like
 A closet full of empty hangers
 A nest of black and twisted wire
 At any moment tied and tangled
 She’ll come crashing to the floor


 She hides a heart as soft as motel soap
 She glides through hands as rough as hangman’s rope
 She slides forever further down the slope


 Sometimes she feels like
 A closet full of empty hangers
 With all her finery on the floor
 A crash of color round her ankles
 She can’t wear those things no more
 Every girl deserves a nervous breakdown…
