What Are You Like

Indigo Girls · Poseidon and the Bitter Bug [2009]

Today my mind is drawing a blank

I canvas you to color this in

There's no gas left in the tank

You've always got your engines running

You've got no whip but the beast lays down

And feeds upon the rest has finally found

What are you like? My open door revolver

What are you like? My go to problem solver

You shine a light in the darkest corners of my mind

What are you like? You're that kind

I cover mirrors with the clocks

I'm getting superstitious lately

But you don't ever brush it off

You won't cover me to safety

And while I'm sitting on this couch

You're up and figuring it out

What are you like? My open door revolver

What are you like? My go to problem solver

You shine a light in the darkest corners of my mind

What are you like?

The Greek chorus of our little play

You'll explain me when I act this way

And as we go along the unwritten song breaks through

And it's all about you

What are you like? You're an open door

What are you like? You're the best and more

What are you like? You're a sacred text

What are you like? You're what's coming next

What are you like? You're my open door

What are you like? You're my open door

What are you like? You're my open door

What are you like?
