Pendulum Swinger Lyrics


I meet you for coffee
We get together periodically
And I got a bad case, I can't shake off me
The fevered wondering
Now I'm wondering how it ought to beYou work in the system
You see possibilities and you're glistening
Eyes show the hell, you're gonna give 'em
When they back off the mic for once
And give it to a womanI dream like a mad one
Brutal fantasies I catch as catch can
I'm a psychic and a laywoman
I see love and I like to make it happenWhat we get from your war walk
The ticker of the nation breaking down like a bad clock
I want the pendulum to swing again
So that all your mighty mandate
Was just spitting in the windIt doesn't come by the bullwhip
It's not persuaded with your hands on your hips in it
It's not the company of gunslingers

The epicenter love is the pendulum swinger
She is, she isIt's fine about the old scroll Sanskrit
Gnostic gospels the Da Vinci Code, a smash hit
Aren't we dying just to read it and relate?
It's too hard just to go by a blind faithBut they left out the sisters
I've been praying to a father God
So long I really missed herThe goddess of benevolence
And you should listen to your mama
If you have a lick of sense leftIt doesn't come by the bullwhip
It's not persuaded with your hands on your hips in it
It's not the company of gunslingers
The epicenter love is the pendulum swinger
She is, she is, she is, she isPushed under by the main press
Buried under a code of dress
Relegated by the Vatican
But you can't keep a spirit down
That wants to get up againIf we're a drop in the bucket
With just enough science to keep from saying fuck it
Until the last drop of sun burns its sweet light
Plenty revolutions left until we get this thing rightDoesn't come by the bullwhip
It's not persuaded with your hands on your hips in it
It's not the company of gunslingers
The epicenter love is the pendulum swinger
She is, she is, she is, she is

The Indigo Girls are Amy Ray and Emily Saliers. They met on the playground in grammar school in Decatur, Georgia, USA, and have been playing together since high school.

Their first release in 1985 was a seven-inch single named "Crazy Game", with the B-side "Everybody's Waiting (for Someone to Come Home)". That same year, the Indigo Girls released a six-track Extended play album named "Indigo Girls", and in 1987 released their first full-length album, Strange Fire, recorded at John Keane Studio in Athens, Georgia, and including "Crazy Game". With this release, they secured the services of Russell Carter, who remains their manager to the present; they had first approached him when the EP album was released, but he told them their songs were "immature" and they were not likely to get a record deal.

They were signed to Epic Records in 1989 and won the Grammy for best contemporary folk album later that year (for their self titled release) Some of their hit songs include "Galileo," "Closer to Fine," and "Shame on You."

Aside from being musicians, Ray and Saliers are activists, constantly supporting causes like gun control, women's rights, Native American rights, environmental protection, the abolition of the death penalty, and as lesbians themselves, LGBT rights. They constantly devote their time and money to such causes, often playing benefit concerts.

Ray and Saliers both have side projects. Ray owns and founded Daemon Records, an independent label based in Decatur. She also has a career as a solo artist, and has released two albums thus far. Saliers is the part owner of Watershed, a restaurant and wine bar in Decatur.

Together, the Indigo Girls are constantly touring. Their new album, Poseidon and the Bitter Bug, was released March 24, 2009.
