Indigo Girls Never Stop
"Never Stop" is an Emily Saliers song from the 1986 EP. The last time I heard it performed was in March of 1990, I think. The lyrics are transcribed directly from the EP lyric sheet. It's odd in that it's one of the only IG songs that's gender-specific, in the line "throw away your hidden ace, you clever man." Never Stop You say she's a very good friend, Circumstances I should understand. But like recurring tide she comes on to you And looks as though she's looking for a man Honey, Don't make yourself so available My pride's in my pocket, but I can be reasonable Still, all in all, I forsee my own fall But I've climbed too far to drop, so stop I know it's your ego puts the smile on your face Because you know you got your options open She's a beguiling snake and she'll keep what she takes But when she leaves you, I'll be the one coping Honey, don't make yourself so available My pride's in my pocket, but I can be reasonable Still, through and through I can see clean through you I know you like to be the one on top, but stop! You will miss my conversation when you're talking to yourself You'll be thumbing for advice through the pages of the novels on your shelf Honey, don't you see our love together's the very best bet Put your focus on me and I'll forgive and forget Throw away your hidden ace, you clever man, take my hand You needn't play the part of your image This is not a one act play we're living As long as I'm here the situation is clear It'll be 50/50 take and giving Honey don't you see a lifetime's not much to ask take off your costume and remove your mask If yes is what you will say we're gonna satrt from today We're gonna take it to the very top Never stop.
