Reindeer King lyrics - Tori Amos

Crystal core
Your mind has been divided from your soul
Now you say you are that stranger on your shore
Grief it brings need the naked freeze caught in the frost
Numb unbearable thoughts your inner need fire not lost
No way
Not lost

I've just come from the Reindeer King
He says, "your purity of soul, crystalline"
Gotta get you back to you
Get you back to you
You gotta get you back to you
Get you back to you
You
You
You
You
You

Crystal core
You are at the still point of the turning world
The divide fearing death desiring life
Ice you were the one most tender with the rivers
You the roof of the waves layer after layer
After layer

I've just come from the Reindeer King
He says, "your purity of soul, crystalline"
Gotta get you back to you
Get you back to you
You gotta get you back to you
Get you back to you

You know that I would skate
Skate all the way just to hold your hand
To take away your pain
You know that I would skate
From Scandinavia
All the way to the moons of Jupiter

With you
You
You
You
You
Gotta get you back to you
Get you back to you
You gotta get you back to you
Get you back to you
You gotta get you back to you
Get you back to you
You gotta get you back to you
Get you back to you

I've just come from the Reindeer King

Wings lyrics - Tori Amos

You've been suffering
Hiding your pain
Unshed tears on the edge
"Just water under the bridge" you say

Is it too late
To make myself
A safe place
I could not see
The dangers
The sacrifices
You were making

Hurt you
Hurt me
Hurt you
Never meant to hurt you
Hurt me
I need
To make myself
A safe place
For you
To cry baby
Cause sometimes
Big boys they need to cry

So we built you some wings
To help you to flee
From your demanding
Dark Angel
And me

Is it too late
To make myself
A safe place
I went too far
When we flew too close
To our star

It hurt you
Hurt me
Hurt you
Never meant to hurt you
Hurt me
I need
To make myself
A safe place
For you
To cry baby
To cry baby
Cause sometimes
Big boys they need to cry
Cause sometimes
Big boys they need to cry

Broken Arrow lyrics - Tori Amos

This broken arrow needs heeding
When great white fathers
Your mistress is inequality

Rash and reckless
Won't get us
To where we want to be
Are we emancipators or oppressors
Of lady liberty?

Have we lost her
Have we lost her
Have we lost her

This broken arrow needs heeding
When great white fathers
Our poisoned rivers feed your greed

Rash and reckless
Won't get us
To where we want to be
Ancient songlines are singing to wake
Lady liberty

She may seem weak
We may be battle weary
Still those songlines sing
From our Great Lakes
To our sacred Badlands
Over sweet prairies

No I'm not letting go
I won't be silenced or frozen out
By those who must account
In our Senate
And in the House

We the people
Dear judges
Will be watching

Over you
Over you

Have we lost her
Have we lost her

This broken arrow needs heeding

Cloud Riders lyrics - Tori Amos

Standing on the edge of the cliff
Didn't think it would come to this
A dead calm before the storm
Not a sound from their engines
From the other side, saw a shooting star at 4:22am

A warning shot from the rhythm demons
Or from the guitar preachers
I've been touched by both
And by the Holy Ghost
From the other side, saw a shooting star at 4:22am

Underneath the stars above
I said, "No, stop I am not giving up on us"
And I am not going anywhere soon
Annie, grab your bass guitar
Help me bring in the October moon
Then you shout, "Run for cover"
I scream, "Rev the Triumph's engine"
You say "Baby we're too late
From the cloud riders, no escape"
Darlin', what's the blanket for?
Riding out this storm
We'll be riding out this storm

Carved a stave against the grain
At the nine doors to gain
The secrets of trees
Once I could hear them singing
From the other side

Back then, the thunder gods
They used to cast our lots
But then I lost touch
Close to when her chariot
From the other side

A chariot pulled by cats
Purring, "We'll be returning"
From the other side
"Girl, it's time you take back your life"

Underneath the stars above
I said, "No, stop I am not giving up on us"
And I am not going anywhere soon
Annie, grab your bass guitar
Help me bring in the October moon
Then you shout, "Run for cover"
I scream, "Rev the Triumph's engine"
You say "Baby we're too late
From the cloud riders, no escape"
Darlin', what's the blanket for?
Riding out this storm
We'll be riding out this storm

This storm
This storm
This storm
This storm

Up The Creek lyrics - Tori Amos

Good Lord willing and the creek don't rise
Good Lord willing and the creek don't rise
Good Lord willing and the creek don't rise

We may just survive
If the Militia of the Mind
Arm against those climate blind

Desert Sisters
I'll be breaking in
Desert Sisters
To break you out

Knowledge sown in Gaia's bones
Knowledge sown in Gaia's bones

Granite canyon webs of stone
Her uncorrupted soul
Will not be possessed or owned

Gone, when hope is almost gone
You know that's the time we must stand
Strong, every girl in every band
Every cosmic cowboy in the land
To the Earth will you show mercy?

Good Lord willing and the creek don't rise
Good Lord willing and the creek don't rise

We may just survive
If the Militia of the Mind
Arm against those climate blind

Desert Sisters
I'll be breaking in
Desert Sisters
To break you out

Desert Sisters
I'll be breaking in
Desert Sisters
To break you out

Good Lord willing and the creek don't rise
Good Lord willing and the creek don't rise
Good Lord willing and the creek don't rise

Breakaway lyrics - Tori Amos

No I don't expect
You to forgive me this
Siding with the soldiers who say
We cannot win the day
A theatre of war the frame
Inner conflicts now reign
Their intent: division till
There is no side to take

You feel betrayed
I feel played
By our so called friends
Not the friends we should have made

So when the story ends
And the stage goes dark
And we both can hear
The writing on the wall
Then I beg the bard
To write another scene
Because you're the one
Who taught me to believe
There is something more
That I need to say
I should have said it though
I should have said it though
Before yesterday
Before your breakaway

This jungle is dark
But full of diamonds
That can cut and exploit
With just a whiff of blood
"Faith in spades" in us
So what were the odds
Our hand of hearts would have to fold
To their flush of clubs

You've been betrayed
And I've been played
At least they made me exit
Through their chopper on the stage

So when the story ends
And the stage goes dark
And we all can hear
The writing on the wall
Then I beg the bard
To write another scene
Because he's the one
Who taught me to believe
There is nothing more
That I need to say
I should have said it though
I should have said it though
Before yesterday
Before your breakaway

Wildwood lyrics - Tori Amos

Wildwood
Poppies
Wildwood
Touch me

Behind the birches whirl
The bongo boys in their summoning
The sound seeds now
In the fingers of the eastern breeze
Where the sleepless wait
For her ascent from the perilous pit
She said "The only way to change our fate
It is to make it rain"

Wildwood
Poppies
Wildwood
Touch me

Past the Alders and the Oaks
Through the Willow Grove snakes the Ivy's gift
Which taught you can't escape anguish
But how to live with it
Then reports from the robins
Form in you an inner radiance
It's as if they fused with a spirit you knew
Who's come back again

Wildwood
Poppies
Wildwood
Touch me

Off the pilgrim's path
With the talisman he placed in my hands
With its magic mapped from winter's past
It leads the way
After 3 long months endured with her absent
Over dragon lines we walked the current
A labyrinth
With little green corn shoots
Now in abundance
As the forest celebrates
She says "Make it rain
Wildwood
Poppies
Wildwood
Touch me
Touch me again"

Chocolate Song lyrics - Tori Amos

I don't have to like the things you say sometimes
Then I don't like the things I say
Now vows and consonants our weaponry
We vowed to love eternally

And I hear your pain screaming
And I hear your pain
In the silent evenings
We used to be happy
We used to make happy
On the stove
On our own

Satiny luscious chocolate
I don't hate you
I don't hate you
Satiny luscious chocolate
No, I need to be more like you
Satiny luscious chocolate
Within the tension of your opposites
Satiny luscious chocolate
Somehow the lingering sweetness
Satiny luscious chocolate
Without betraying your bitterness
Satiny luscious chocolate
I don't hate you
I don't hate you
Satiny luscious chocolate

I don't have to like swinging from extremes
The lows so low, the highs so high
From throwing knives to dessert stirring
Our tight rope act just balancing

And I hear your pain screaming at me
Hear your pain screaming
We used, used to be
We used to make happy
We used to make, make happy

Satiny luscious chocolate
I don't hate you
I don't hate you
Satiny luscious chocolate
No, I need to be more like you
Satiny luscious chocolate
Within the tension of your opposites
Satiny luscious chocolate
Somehow the lingering sweetness
Satiny luscious chocolate
Without betraying your bitterness
Satiny luscious chocolate
I don't hate you
I don't hate you
Satiny luscious chocolate
I don't hate you
I don't hate you

Hear your pain screaming
We used to make happy
We used to make, make happy
In a cauldron on our stove
I feel fire, sweet water
We used to make, make happy
We used to make happy

Bang lyrics - Tori Amos

Bang went the gun on their tongue
Word crucifixion toward immigrants shunned
"Immigrants that's who we all are
'Cause we're all made of stars"
You said to them
Oh yes you did

Bang went the universe
Hydrogen lusting for Helium's burst
A mighty Sun's Dance of Death
Exploding Super Nova
One story's end
Seeds another to begin

Then the Heavens opened
And then I heard voices
Joined in Hosannas
Breathlessly I saw your star

So bright it blinded me
I had to shield my eyes
So bright it blinded me
I had to shield my eyes
So bright it blinded me
I had to shield my eyes

And then you took my hand
Oh yes you did

Bang the world now traumatized
By a cluster of hostile humans who side
With their warlords of hate
So we must out-create
With the the Backbone of Night
To Rehumanize

Then the Heavens opened
And then I heard voices
Joined in Hosannas
And their tower of confusion
Could not drown the light
From your star

So bright it blinded me
I had to shield my eyes
So bright it blinded me
I had to shield my eyes
So bright it blinded me
I had to shield my eyes

And then you lit the path
Oh yes you did

"Can't they see"
He said to me
"That we all
Are Molecular Machines"
Goals and dreams
All I wanna be
Is the very best
Machine I can be

Oxygen and Carbon
Part of
Our Molecular Machine
Goals and dreams
All I wanna be
Is the very best
Machine I can be

Hydrogen
Calcium
Phosphorus
Potassium
Sulfur
Sodium
All I wanna be
Is the very best
Machine I can be

Chlorine
Magnesium
Boron
Chromium
Cobalt
Copper
Fluorine
All I wanna be
Is the very best
Machine I can be

Iodine
Iron
Manganese
Molybdenum
Selenium
Silicon
Tin
Vanadium
And Zinc
All I wanna be
A Molecular Machine

Climb lyrics - Tori Amos

"Climb over the church wall" he said
"You can feed the koi in the pond
Climb over the church wall in your Sunday dress
Be sure to feed the koi in the pond"
It's a long long climb going back in time

All of me wants to be... believe
That the angels will find me Saint Veronica
All of me wants to be... believe
That somehow you will save me Saint Veronica

He said "Kneel before your judges in reverence
Your penance for the woman you'll become
You knew if you talked there'd be a consequence
Your sentence for the woman you'll become"
Ten days of hell in Satan's cell

All of me wants to be... believe
That the angels will find me Saint Veronica
All of me wants to be... believe
That somehow you will save me Saint Veronica

Dream of dimensions
Then cross through the veil to them
Wrap yourself in linen holding Jesus close
Calling Saint
Calling Saint
Saint Veronica

"Climb out of the belly of the beast" she said
"Become a witness out of the abyss
The temple of the soul will have to heal the flesh
Only when you're whole can you forgive
But it's a long long climb
It's a long long climb"

Bats lyrics - Tori Amos

If you see three candles in the window
Been expecting you Undine of the Sea
The Kindly Ones are here with me
Undine of the Sea keep breathing girl

Got a bat visiting
On a break from teaching
At William and Mary
You've asked his expertise
About the deal the ancient
Sea maids made with humanity

Warning "The most precious thing
That we'll fight to save
The fate of our waves
With her blue satin crashing"

If you see three candles in the window
Been expecting you Undine of the Sea
The Kindly Ones are here with me
Undine of the Sea keep breathing girl

You say the bats are wise
And once had prophesied
What fate... if betrayed by human kind
Yes dripped in mist sisters rise
Quietly from the fens and marshes
All for the love of our dearest friend
It now begins

If you see three candles in the window
Been expecting you Undine of the Sea
The Kindly Ones are here with me
Undine of the Sea
The Kindly Ones are here with me
Undine of the Sea
Undine of the Sea
Undine of the Sea keep breathing girl

Benjamin lyrics - Tori Amos

Benjamin
Science whiz
My computer bat friend
Tell me where
Tell me when
I'll meet you ninja Ben

At the back of the record store
With tapes you secured
Prove the extent of their viciousness
As they purge our scientists
My computer bat hunts for facts

Campaigns
Funded by
The fossil fuel industry
How many of us
Will they own
To give them global mastery

Sucking hydrocarbon from the ground
Those pimps in Washington
Are selling the rape of America
As they attack Juliana

Now there is no avoiding
Necessity resurrecting herself
And her daughters
Who will never be bought
Not by the gods
Not by the men on the hill
Thread of life
Measured quick
Spin then
Snip

Benjamin
Science whiz
My computer bat friend
Tell me where
Tell me when
I'll meet you ninja Ben
Tell me where
Tell me when
I'm in your army Ben

Mary's Eyes lyrics - Tori Amos

What's behind Mary's Eyes
Mary's Eyes
Mary's Eyes

The Death Midwife
Can you bring her back to life
The Death Midwife
Can you bring her back to life

Sister Despair
Sister Despair
Can you bring the Dream King to me
Sister Despair
Hide your tears around Mary
We've got to get her to
Joy to The World
Joy to The World

Hymns for us to sing
She's a believer
Hymns locked in her memory
I'm a believer they're the key

What's behind Mary's Eyes
Patterns matter
Stringing sequences together matters
To bring, bring her back to us

What's behind Mary's Eyes
Mary's Eyes
Mary's Eyes

The Death Midwife
Can you bring her back to life

Sister Despair
Sister Despair
She must not see you cry
Hide your tears
Can't we just bring her Delight

Hymns for us to sing
She's a believer
Hymns locked in her memory
I'm a believer they're the key

What's behind Mary's Eyes
What's behind Mary's Eyes
Mary's Eyes
Mary's Eyes
Mary

Upside Down 2 lyrics - Tori Amos

Watch the boats go by
And someone else's life
Those smiling faces
We've worn them before
Watch the boats go by
No that is not our life
Not today
Not today
Some things work out that way

I'm not gonna be angry
Lately seems like everything
Is falling down
All around
Us
We gotta turn that frown
We gotta turn that frown
Upside Down

Those smiling faces
We've worn them before
Watch the boats go by
No that is not our life
Not today
Not today
Some things work out that way

I'm not gonna be angry
Lately seems like everything
Is falling down
All around
Us

We gotta turn that frown
We gotta turn that frown
Upside Down
Upside Down

Russia lyrics - Tori Amos

For those on the Right
You need to build a bridge
For those on the Left
You must build a bridge
For those in Washington
There is only one question

Is Stalin on your shoulder
Stalin on your shoulder
As he was with his composers

Time to wake
Activate our Native Invader
Warriors of the Earth
It's getting late now
Time to face
Those who take
More and more
From our Great Mother
The Mother we call home

Is Stalin on your shoulder

America lyrics - Tori Amos

The other America
You can find her Sunday
Sitting by a stream
On her own
All alone

The other America
Might show up on Tuesday
At your kitchen door
She will ask politely
"Is anybody home?

Or did they all lay down
To sleep through the now?
And if they all lay down
I'll be waiting for them
At the river bed
Once they wake from their rest"

The other America
Takes herself to night school
To understand the law
She may bring you questions
When she finds the flaw

"Why did they all lay down
To sleep through the now?
And if they all lay down
I'll be waiting for them
At the river bed
Once they wake from their rest"

We could be opening a doorway globally
But that's okay
Once upon a time you had faith
You would not be swayed
By fools untouched by clairvoyance
And you swore that we'd be brave
Well not today
No not today

Because we all lay down
To sleep through the now
And if we all lay down
She'll be waiting for us
Where the rivers cross
Once we wake from our rest

"All the best," the Other America

Trouble's Lament lyrics - Tori Amos

Trouble needs a home girls,
trouble needs a home.
She fell out with Satan,
now she’s on the run.
But I have found her quite straightforward
in her contracts and her deals
she warns me when Danger is
loose behind his wheels
and he is loose behind his wheels.
Don’t cry baby...

Trouble got evicted,
from the Devil’s lair.
I wager she got betrayed
by her friend Despair.
Now the flames from Satan’s tongue are charged
and licking at her heels
She whispers “Hey Ginger, Danger’s loose behind his wheels”
And Satan knows how Danger makes you feel.
What will be will be, baby...

You don’t, you don’t need to cry.
There are no tears in my eyes
If Danger wants to find me,
I’ll let him in, he can find me.

Trouble needs a home girls,
a covert abode
from Tucson to Ohio
back through Tobacco road.
And she is armed and will fight for the souls
of girls around the world.
Standing up to Satan,
dancing on st. Michael‘s sword.
I’m on her side, in this brutal war.
Don’t cry baby...

You don’t, you don’t need to cry.
There are no tears in my eyes
If Danger wants to find me,
I’ll let him in, he can find me.

Trouble needs a home girls,
trouble needs a home.
Trouble needs a home girls,
will you give her one.
Trouble needs a home,
trouble needs a home...

Wild Way lyrics - Tori Amos

I hate you
I hate you
I do
I hate that
you're the one who can
make me feel gorgeous
with just just a flick of your finger
it is that easy

yes there was a time
you didn't always get your way
back there where my heart
was not so easy to invade
when my battlements were strong
before the Pilgrims came
don't forget you were the one
who loved my wild way

I hate you
I hate you
I do
I hate that
I turn into a kind
some kind of monster
with just just a flick of your finger
it is that easy

of course there was a time
you didn't always get your way
back there where my heart
was not so easy to invade
when my battlements were strong
before the pilgrims came
don't forget you were the one
who loved my wild way

I hate you
I hate you
I do
I hate that
you're the one who can
make me feel gorgeous
with just just a flick of your finger
it is that easy
to hate you
to hate you

Wedding Day lyrics - Tori Amos

The deafening sound of silence
Silence the siren between us

Now I drink back the past
Back to our wedding day
We'd hang onto every
Word the other would say

Blanket on bluebell knoll
Under a starry night holding us close
As jupiter winked at the earth
On that our wedding day

I run back to your arms again
Back there safe in your arms again

Your thoughts safely were shared
My secrets to you I gave
I swore angels were born
You said heaven can be made

Above us on bluebell knoll
The laughing seven maids chased by the bull
As Virgo she danced through the dawn
On that our wedding day

The deafening sound of silence
Silence the siren between us

I run back to your arms again
Back there safe in your arms again

Now I take off the mask
That hides all this from your gaze
As you sleep I pretend you dream
Of our wedding day

Weatherman lyrics - Tori Amos

He is not a weatherman
But his bride lies with the land
And she will whisper to him
I'll be dressing up in snow
Cloaked in echo it's almost
As if only Nature knows
How to bring his wife to life
And breathe her into form

"One more look from her eyes
One more look can you paint her back to life"

He knows every moor and mound
Every curve of every hill
A shoulder of the mountain
Where they watched a thousand dawns

"One more look from her eyes
One more look can you paint her back to life"

Rising she stirs
First it blurs
A breeze that lifts
Lilac blossoms from the earth
Blending its shape
To a skirt
With limbs that bend
He's drawn toward her pirouette turn
Autumn's peach black
Winter's velvet coat
Pink Tourmaline,
Palette of Spring
In Summer she's wrapped in Viennese green

He is not a weatherman
But his bride lies with the land
And she will whisper to him
I'll be dressing up in snow
Cloaked in echo it's almost
As if only Nature knows
How to paint his wife to life
With every season's tone

"One more look from her eyes
One more look can you paint her back to life"

16 Shades Of Blue lyrics - Tori Amos

Are you telling me it's over disintegrating lost and there's nothing I can do
Before you drop another verbal bomb, can I arm myself
with Cezanne's 16 shades of blue

As my heart is slowly ripping into pieces
disconnecting from the circuits of my mind
"You'll get over it" you say "in time"
in time?
If the clocks are black absorbing everything but
a remembering how we made it that
clocks are black

You say "get over it if 50 is the new black, hooray this could be your lucky day"
But my cables they are surging almost over loading as you disengage

Could your heart be slowly ripping into pieces
disconnecting from the circuits of your mind
"We'll get over it" you say "in time"
in time?
If the clocks are black absorbing everything but
a remembering how we made it that
clocks are black

"That's it you're done.
You've screwed up your life"
before you've begun
There are those who say
I am now too old to play

See over there at 33 she fears she'll lose her job
because they hear the ticking of her clock
At only 15 I said 15, they say her future's bleak
She should have started this at 3

As her heart is slowly ripping into pieces
disconnecting from the circuits of her mind
"She'll get over it" you say "in time"
in time? stop Father Time
If the clocks are black absorbing everything but
a remembering how we made it that
how our clocks are black

Before you drop another verbal bomb
can I arm myself
with Cezanne's 16 shades of blue

Maids Of Elfen-Mere lyrics - Tori Amos

The Maids of Elfen-mere
Watch over the boy with chestnut hair
And as he dreams about his love for them
They make a vow to protect him
Spinning their song
Sung by a happy corpse
Foreseeing a pretty girl drawing
Her arrow
But what they want to know
Will she bring him
True love
Or sorrow
The Maids of Elfen-mere
Don't know that the boy with chestnut hair
Winds back the clock at the 11th bell
Hoping to follow them
Through the veil
Spinning their song
Sung by a happy corpse
Foreseeing a pretty girl drawing
Her arrow
But what they want to know
Will the Queen of Eastland or the Wastelands be waking
The Maids of Elfen-mere

Promise lyrics - Tori Amos

[Tori:] Promise not to say

[Tash:] that you told me so
Promise not to say

[Tori:] that I'm getting too old

[Tash:] Promise not to take

[Tori:] never take your phone

[Tash:] I mean take their word

[Tori:] you mean over yours?
what I need to know, will you

[Tash:] Be there

[Tori:] Where the sun shines

[Tash:] I will be there

[Tori:] you are the light

[Tash:] that follows you everywhere

[Tash and Tori:] look for my love

[Tash:] where the sun shines
I will be there

[Tori:] will you

[Tash:] Promise not to judge

[Tori:] to judge who you love
I don't know if I...

[Tash:] Yes, make that Promise

[Tori:] whatever it is

[Tash:] can you hear the truth
if they accuse me

[Tori:] you think I'll doubt you?
what I need to know, will you

[Tash:] be there
when I am all alone

[Tori:] you're not alone

[Tash:] when I am broken down

[Tori:] we all break down

[Tash:] when every door is closed

[Tori:] there is one more

[Tash:] will you look for me?
I will rescue you

Giant's Rolling Pin lyrics - Tori Amos

Beth and Marlene's pies
with help from Caroline
after just one slice
you can uncover any lie
that's why the NSA
and now the FBI
want to be the ones who control
Beth and Marlene's pies
with help from Caroline
so basically that's why

I'm off to find the giant's rolling pin
legend says it does exist
if you don't stop looking for it
I'm off to find the giant's rolling pin
legend says it will bake for the world
(oh it will yes it really will)

In case we have
rolled out our little world too flat
then the giant's rolling pin
will roll the truth out
so that the whole world can dig in
to Beth and Marlene's pies

Everybody spies
so why the big surprise?
that is why the working woman
well deserves a slice
(Mississippi mud or Key lime?)
but now the nice taxman
in every state has tried
to say that it's in his jurisdiction to decide
who gets a bit of pie
so honestly that's why

I'm off to find the giant's rolling pin
legend says it does exist
if we don't stop looking for it
I'm off to find the giant's rolling pin
legend says it will bake for the world
(oh it will yes it really will)

If in fact we had
rolled our little world too flat
then the giant's rolling pin
would roll the truth out
so that the whole world can dig in
the whole world can dig in
to Beth and Marlene's pies
with help from Caroline
for a window of time you can see through any lie
with help from Caroline
and the giant's rolling pin

Selkie lyrics - Tori Amos

Selkie unzips her skin finally determined
through a window in the dark
there he sits all alone
I've been waiting on the love of my life to find
he's been waiting on his Selkie to come back
he said "I know these shores are not like yours
but will you make your home in my arms?"
Selkie battled tide and wave just to gaze upon his face
hiding behind rocks to learn
if he found a new love

Loralie sings the song for Lovers
who were torn apart then left broken hearted
Loralie hears the cry of Lovers
who the Sea of Fate has separated

Selkie puts her hand in his
he knows the gift she gives
there inside his cabinet
folded safe her seal skin
I've been waiting on the love of my life to find
he's been waiting on his Selkie to come back
he said "I know these shores are not like yours
but will you make your home in my arms?"

Unrepentant Geraldines lyrics - Tori Amos

Matthew, Mark, John, and Luke
(this is the day of reckoning)
mamma looks to you for truth
(with the heart of St. Catherine)
no need to apologize
(for the gypsy madonna)
truth is not always kind
(jesus hosanna)
Peter and Paul they did condemn
(this is the day of reckoning)
women like the Magdalene
(she you said the savior loved best)
now you ask me if I agree
(our patron St. Cecilia)
with the unrepentant geraldines
(jesus hosanna)

chapel of birds
we sing our song revise the word
will you pray
pray for me unrepentant geraldines?

I'm gonna free myself from your opinion
I'm gonna heal myself from your religion
I'm gonna free myself from your aggression
I'm gonna heal myself from your religion

Our Father of Corporate Greed (this is the day of reckoning)
you absolve corporate thieves (they will give the Judas kiss)
as our governments relent (guess who gets them elected)
and turn a blind eye to your sin (jesus hosanna)

chapel of birds
we sing our song revise the word
will you pray
pray for me unrepentant geraldines?

I'm gonna free myself from your opinion
I'm gonna heal myself from your religion
I'm gonna free myself from your aggression
I'm gonna heal myself from your religion

If you find the Vicar's wife
running through the rain
on her way from St. James
To Mary's in the field

You'll find she plays guitar
Sometimes with her band
But she plays the bass like a Messiah

If you find the Vicar's wife
staring out to sea
Praying for one more soul
We lose one every week
There she will light a flame
Asking why they've gone
What are we not giving
Giving to the young?

You'll find she plays guitar
Sometimes with her band
But she plays the bass like a Messiah

If you find the Vicar's wife
running through the rain
on her way from St. James
To Mary's in the field
On her way from St. James
to Mary's in
Mary's in
in the field

Oysters lyrics - Tori Amos

So can these shoes take me to
Who I was before
I was stabbing my sticks into
A vulnerable earth
And I can almost out run you
And those stalking memories
Did I somehow become you
Without realizing
Found a little patch of heaven now
So then I'm gonna turn oysters in the sand
'Cause I'm working my way back
I'm working my way back to me again
Not every girl is a pearl
With these ruby slippers
With these ruby slippers
So then I'm gonna turn oysters in the sand
In the sand
Turn
Turn
Turn
And there are forces of conflict
Taking portions of my mind
In whose realm laced with trickery
The fragments I must find
And I can almost out run you
And those stalking memories
Did I somehow become you
Without realizing
Found a little patch of heaven now
So then I'm gonna turn oysters in the sand
'Cause I'm working my way back
I'm working my way back to me again
Not every girl is a pearl
With these ruby slippers
With these ruby slippers
So then I'm gonna turn oysters in the sand
Turn
Turn
Not every girl is popular
Popular
Popular
Not every girl is a pearl
With these ruby slippers
With these ruby slippers
So then I 'm gonna turn oysters in the sand
In the sand
In the sand
Turn
Turn
Turn

Rose Dover lyrics - Tori Amos

If you see Rose Dover
That's her secret name
She would meet 3 others
To keep the forest safe
She says "my reality was soon called
Make Believe, imagination's funeral
Killed by the teenage me"
You don't have to throw it away
Throw being a kid away
Just because you're growing up
Faster everyday
You don't have to throw it all away
You don't have to throw it all away
There's a way
I've been thinking lately it's not
A permanent situation
Just a phase that she's in
I've been thinking lately
I've been thinking lately
It's not permanent
A scattering of birds
Above her head
A scattering of birds
That whisper to her
"You don't have to throw it away
Throw being a kid away
Just because you're growing up
Faster everyday
You don't have to throw it all away
There's a way"
Happy was Rose Dover
Speaking badger, fawn, rabbit
(Behind the lumberjacks)
Pondering the dilemma
At the Redwood conference
She cries, "my reality is now called
Make Believe, imagination's funeral
Killed by the teenage me"
You don't have to throw it away
Throw being a kid away
Just because you're growing up
Faster everyday
You don't have to throw it all away
You don't have to throw it all away
And as you rise
A rose you will forever stay

Invisible Boy lyrics - Tori Amos

You are
Are not just
An invisible boy
But if you want to be one
An invisible boy

You could go under cover
Make your great escape
Go where only eagles dare go
Without needing wings
Jump on a triumph like Steve McQueen
It's time you lived your dream
"But how can this be" you say
"Won't it all fade away
If I'm only made out of clay
Only made out of clay"

You are
Are not just
An invisible boy
But if you want to reach her
As an invisible boy

You could sit down beside her
Hold her as she cries
Call upon your friends the cloud riders
To unlock the sky
Then wave to the snowdrops skating by
Catch the laughter from her eyes
"But how can this be" you say
"Won't it all fade away
If I'm only made out of clay
Only made out of clay"

You are
Are not just
An invisible boy
But if you want to be one
As an invisible boy

You could cross over to the
Great Pub in the Sky
There you'll find him listening to a lost soul
Pouring them a pint
Then you'll know you have missed his advice
And he'll look you in the eye
"If you want to be" he'll say
"To be only partially a boy that's made out of clay
We're all made out of clay
But not you
You are my best invisible boy
And if you want to be this
An invisible boy
Then only those who can see you
Will be better off because they can
See and believe in
My best invisible boy
My best invisible boy"

Forest Of Glass lyrics - Tori Amos

Steal me away
Steal me away
From where I stand
Although I'm kneeling down
On the ground

Steal me away
Steal me away
From where I stand
Although I'm kneeling down
On the ground

The owl hoots and the moon beams through
A doubt awakes a voice dares to ask

Will you follow
If you love him you will follow
Will you follow
If you love him you will follow
If you love him you will follow him even 'til

His forest of glass
Forrest of glass
His

Robbing the muse
Is, Is that what I've done
They turn and laugh
Back you do cannot do

We are the robin's muse
And we will sing for you

Lift up your head
Lift up your heart

Lift up your head
Lift up your heart

The owl hoots and the moon beams through
A doubt awakes a voice dares to ask

Will you follow
If you love him you will follow
Will you follow
If you love him you will follow
If you love him you will follow him even 'til

His forest of glass
Forrest of glass
His

Steal me away
Steal me away
From where I stand
Although I'm kneeling down
On the ground

Lift up your head
Lift up your heart

Lift up your head
Lift up your heart

Lift up your head
Lift up your heart

In his forest of glass
Forrest of glass

White Telephone To God lyrics - Tori Amos

Do we have to get older? We do.
Do we have to get older? We do.
So besides getting grey hair, guess what showed up in the mail?
My very own white telephone....my very own white telephone to God.

When the white telephone rings, it's him.
It's not happened to me yet, but it's happened to my friend.
Hearing from the other end...
We all have to get older. It's true
And then St. Peter said, "better older than dead"
So you're being warned to change your diet.

Fresh bread, garlic, butter, toasted, dipped in the starter.
Some days don't you just need sticky toffee pudding plus
extra caramel sauce for luck?
Roasted taters and gravy, pizza thin pepperoni.
I'll make a deal with you, hold the booze in the tiramisu.
(you think you get tiramisu)

Cheesecake, red velvet cupcakes. Some favor their dream burger.
Fish and chips with tartar sauce.
Farewell carbohydrate love.

When the white telephone rings, it's him
It's not happened to me yet, but if I don't change my diet...
Hearing from the end...
We all have to get older, we do.
But then St. Peter said "better older than dead"
"That's your warning from your white telephone"
My very own white telephone to God.

Dixie lyrics - Tori Amos

Grab your coat
And those things
Without any fingers
The peach ones
That keeps you warm
In the southern winter
Off I go, window shopping with my mum
We’ll go whistling Dixie down the lane
So who cares our purse is almost empty
I’m the richest girl in Dixie land
Look away
Look again
She is still
Holding my hand
Holding my hand
Grab your coat
The cloudy blue one
With the stripy buttons
That keeps you warm
In the southern winter
Off I go, window shopping with my mum
We’ll go whistling Dixie down the lane
So who cares our purse is almost empty
I’m the richest girl in Dixie land
Look away
Look again
She is still
Holding my hand
Holding my hand
Look away
Look again
She is still
Holding my hand
Holding my hand

Shattering Sea lyrics - Tori Amos

That is not my blood on the bedroom floor
That is not the glass that I threw before

He gets his power from tide and wave
The grains of sand are my domain
His tempest surged and angry flesh
And through my arms formed a sea of glass

Shattering Sea
Closing my eyes
[Repeat 2x]

Every line
Every curve
Every twist
Every turn
Of every brutal word

Every turn (every line)
Every line (every curve)
Every twist (every turn)
Every curve
Of every brutal word

That is not my blood on the bedroom floor
That is not the glass that I threw before

SnowBlind lyrics - Tori Amos

Some get snowblind
With the daylight
But then with the night
For once see clearly

Through fox's eyes
I've been watching you
How do you free your mind
So that you're not confined
By our concept
Of what we call time

Follow me
Call me
Anabelle
Some get snowblind
With the daylight
But then with the night
For once see clearly

I will
Follow you
Anabelle

Just imagine him
There upon that hill
Over three thousand years
From now 'til then

A key fragment
Of you and him

And what I must now
Bring back
I'm wondering
Were you giants
Or friends
Even the more again
Lovers or enemies
One or all of these

Battle Of Trees lyrics - Tori Amos

Our language of love
The Battle of Trees
We fought side by side
No one had more

Sharper consonants than you, love
And my vowels, well, were trusted

First comes the Birch
Rowan followed by the Ash
Then through the Alder she forms
And merges with Willow

The Hawthorne blossoms
As the Oak guards the door
She is the hinge on which the year swings
He courts the lightning flash and her

Summoning the spirits
Through incantations
You said the Thunder God seems to have
And our enemies are the Reed
But we knew the Furies held the Holly sacred

We were insulated
In a circle of words we'd drawn
With wisdom sent from nine Hazels
A Rowan fire and a Willow rod

At ten comes the vine
That generates bramble wine
The constant change of the night sun
A song in the blood of the white bull

Our language of love
The Battle of Trees
We fought side by side
No one had more
Sharper consonants than you, love
And my vowels, well, were trusted

From Ivy leaves is an ale that can unveil
The hidden meanings and serpents
Only revealed through visions
Yes vowels could insert
"A" was for the Silver Fir

The Firs of course
Then came next
With Heather at her most
Passionate

The White Poplar's gift to the souls of the dead
A promise that it was not the end
But for the vine the "U", it's coffer

Vowels and consonants
The power of trees
The power they hold
The power of prose

So when the church
Began to twist the old myths
They built their own Tower of Babel
From Ulster to Munster

The Reed gave way then
To the Elder
The Earth turns her will
So that night follows day

From dawn to dawn
Fom Winter to Winter
At day the Ash had power over the Alder

Our language of love
The Battle of Trees
We fought side by side
Then he said to me:
"I've dodged bullets and even poisoned arrows
Only to be foiled by the blade of a vowel"

Fearlessness lyrics - Tori Amos

Fearlessness blew in with the wind
Waking up to greet the sun
We sailed on like the ancient ones
Into the night underworld
We knew dangers would come
I had faith in both of us

Listen to your heart
(You can hear me)
Listen to your heart
(You can hear me)

Day turned night when he questioned
Why can't you balance the sky?
Souless storms have sent watchers
With bladeless weapons to fight

Teams of horses of the brine
Followed his cries through the fire
Demons of the wild hissed with the wind
Did you listen?

Listen to your heart
(Can you hear me?)
Listen to your heart
(Can you hear me?)
Fearlessness soon reminded me
You must be stronger then they
Cautioning there those who live
To be cruel for the fun of it

He let in a dark companion
That orbited between us
His siren friends convinced him that love
Was no match against storms to come
Their songs inflamed by doubt
Fearlessness drowned them out

Teams of horses of the brine
Followed his cries through the fire
Demons of the wild hissed with the wind
Did you listen?

Listen to your heart
Can you hear me?
Listen to your heart
Can you hear me?

Did we begin without knowing it?
To find fault in every gift
Then that was when the blame began
What were once two forces joined
In fearlessness

Cactus Practice lyrics - Tori Amos

[Tori:]
Maybe he and I

[Anabelle:]
Are like a pair of suns
That are captured

[Tori:]
Maybe he and I are like a pair of suns
That are captured

[Anabelle:]
Eternally linked into chasing
Each other's spin

[Tori:]
Eternally linked into chasing
Each other's spin
Bound by beliefs

[Anabelle:]
That have become steel cords

[Tori:]
Why the disharmony?
Let's resynch my world
With a harmonic defiance I'll face this

[Anabelle:]
I'd like to induct you into
The drink of the cactus practice
Cactus

[Tori:]
Cactus

[Anabelle:]
Practice

[Tori:]
Will you induct me into
The drink of the cactus practice?
Cactus

[Anabelle:]
Cactus

[Tori:]
Practice
Are you saying I'm

[Anabelle:]
Reactive but I can work with a doll face

[Tori:]
Every couple has their version of what they call the truth
Every couple has their version of what they call the truth
Call all that lies

[Anabelle:]
Beneath both stories

[Tori:]
Back to my fire

[Anabelle:]
Embrace what you find

[Tori:]
With a harmonic defiance I'll face this

[Anabelle:]
It's time to induct you into
The drink of the cactus practice

[Tori:]
Cactus

[Anabelle:]
Cactus

[Tori:]
Practice

[Anabelle:]
I'd like to induct you into
The drink of the cactus practice

[Tori:]
Cactus

[Anabelle:]
Cactus

[Tori:]
Practice
Will you induct me into
The drink of the cactus practice?
Cactus
Cactus

Star Whisperer lyrics - Tori Amos

Lost Star Whisperer
Where, where, where have you gone?
Lost Star Whisperer
Where your Cloud Ride has come
Why, oh why have you locked up your sky?
Night in the sky
Whisper me back to life

Night warns of an Eastern threat
North calls reinforcements from the West
Lost all reason guarded by the waves
Sing to life the Seven Lords of Time

Lost Star Whisperer
Send for your Cloud Riders to come
Why, oh why have you locked up your sky?
Night sky
Whisper me back to life
Then I heard you scream
From the other side of the mountain
I saw a you I didn't want to see
I heard you scream
From the other side of the mountain

[Musical interlude]

Then I heard you scream
From the other side of the mountain
You saw a me I didn't want to see
I heard you scream
From the other side of the mountain

Lost Star Whisperer
Where, where, where have you gone?
Forged out
Fire and Song
You, you worn
Eight shadows long
Why, oh why
Have you locked up your sky?
Night sky
Whisper me back to life

Job's Coffin lyrics - Tori Amos

Job's coffin looks down
Job's coffin looks down
To see what mankind is gonna do
There is a grid of disempowerment
And forces are being called to dismantle this

As Job's Coffin looks down
Job's Coffin looks down
To see what you're gonna do

There exists a power of old
Who wanted Earth to be controlled
But she and she alone is her own
She is her own

Job's coffin looks down
Job's coffin looks down
And can be proud
Proud of what I have done
Since time why do we women
Give ourselves away
We give ourselves away
Thinking somehow that will make him
Want to stay
Make him stay

Job's coffin looks down
At the day you shut your power down
You must out-create that distructive tendency
Let your fire starter hear the fury
Sister it's time to bring it back on line

As Job's coffin looks down
Job's coffin looks down
To see what you're gonna do
To see what you're gonna do

Nautical Twilight lyrics - Tori Amos

As the day gave way
To nautical twilight
I turned
My back on
The force of which I was made
I abandoned it
Rupturing the delicate balance
When I left my world for his
Day after day
As my city fades
And is swallowed by his sea
She is boundless
Even breaking on the beach
Every hour commenced
No fusion and fission
Can unify or drive a force to split
He has been possessed
To drink of the spices
From the east by his liquid mistress
Which then pushed me into the lair
Of uranium, she divides time between
Greed and his twin, tyranny
Day after day
Cities all betrayed
And the earth, his songs lay their blade
She is boundless
But by then she has been frayed
As the night gives way
To nautical dawn I can see
I must activate the force of which I'm made

Your Ghost lyrics - Tori Amos

You've left your ghost
Until tomorrow
And then he must be sent
To a strange address
In the Mediterranean

I've met your ghost
He has proposed
I've met your ghost, yes
He's proposed
He needs some time alone
Then he'll stay with me
Then he'll visit your seven seas

Please leave me your ghost
I will keep him from harm
Although I've learned that
You were wounded
My forest of glass
Caused enough damage
As your tear satin crashing
My embers and my blues
Could have another use
Your ghost has shown me
Our primroses could survive the frost
If a gentle rivulet of flame is sustained tenderly

He'll play a Beatles tune
Me, more a Bach fugue
Is this such a great divide
Between your world and mine
They both can purify
And heal what was cut and bruised

Please leave me your ghost
I will keep him from harm
I understand that you've been wounded

My embers and my blues
Could have another use
Please leave me your ghost

Just leave me
Your ghost
I will keep him warm
I will keep him warm

Edge Of The Moon lyrics - Tori Amos

Here on the edge of the moon
Running from our future
As I look back
Your heart grabs my hand
Asking me
To remember a vow you made
That would always take
Me to the edge of the moon
Circling pictures of you

The time you sailed on
Under the diamond eye
Or for a dolphin who for a song had
Crossed night
To bring back your bride

Under a warm Tuscan sun
No cliff was too steep for us
Here at the edge of the moon
I surf a curve thrown by you

And did you teach me to fly
Past your marmalade sky
So that after the waning and waxing of love
You could find
Me at the edge
Here at the edge
Me at the edge of
The edge of the moon

Now I'm going back
Past that marmalade sky
'Cause you've got me waxing and waning
As primitive girls
You can stir the embers of the Lucy
Inside of my soul

Now I'm going back
Past that marmalade sky
'Cause you've got me waxing and waning
As primitive girls
You can stir the embers of the Lucy
Inside of my soul

Now I'm going back
Past that marmalade sky
'Cause you've got me waxing and waning
As primitive girls
You can stir the embers of the Lucy inside
The Lucy inside
Stir the Lucy inside of my soul

Here at the edge
Me at the edge of
The edge of the moon

The Chase lyrics - Tori Amos

[Tori:]
Out there are hunters

[Anabelle:]
Let's say predators

[Tori:]
I have weapons
That could destroy them

[Anabelle:]
You must out-create
It's the only way
I am the hunter
And the hunted
Joined together

[Tori:]
You create duality

[Anabelle:]
And neutrality
I must leave you
With the Fire muse
Show her the riddle
It is serious
If you lose
Out there

[Tori:]
I'll be the hare

[Anabelle:]
Then I'm the greyhound
Chasing after you

[Tori:]
Then I will change my frequency
To a fish that thinks

[Anabelle:]
Then you will find yourself
In the paws
Of the otter
Near her jaws

[Tori:]
Then I'll grow my wings
As a flying thing

[Anabelle:]
Flying thing, you be warned
I'm the falcon

[Tori:]
Watch me change
Into a grain of corn

[Anabelle:]
A grain of corn
Hear the alarm
In your head
I'm the hen
Black and red
And you're in my barn
They would have won
Use your head or you'll be dead

Night Of Hunters lyrics - Tori Amos

Rose so red
This Night of Hunters
Find love instead of their
Blood by your thorn

Rose so red
This Night of Hunters
Find love instead of their
Blood by my thorn

Dark forces are out there gathering
Dark forces are out there gathering
Some hunt for power
Others to invade children's dreams
Some hunt for power
Others to invade children's dreams

They must pay this Night of Hunter
Find love instead of their
Blood by your thorn
Find love instead of their
Blood by my thorn

Holy Father, why not ask forgiveness
From the land
Spirit to spirit
End this suffering
Spirit to spirit
Soul to soul
They stole the dreams
Of the children
By distorting what love means

Watching over
Keeping watch
Watching over
Keeping watch
Watching over
Keeping watch over children's dreams
The ancient Seven Sisters above

Tuning the frequency
Keeping watch
Watching over
Keeping watch over children's dreams
The ancient Seven Sisters above

Changing the frequency
Watching over
Keeping watch
Watching over
Watching over
Keeping watch over children's dreams
The ancient Seven Sisters above

Tuning the frequency
Keeping watch
Watching over
Keeping watch
Holy Father, you ask forgiveness
From the land
Sacred Mother, you are released
From your chains

Spirit to Spirit
The children's dreams
Must now be reclaimed

Spirit to Spirit
Changing the frequency
Spirit to Spirit
Soul to Soul

Carry lyrics - Tori Amos

Love hold my hand
Help me see you with the dawn
That those that have left
Are not gone

But they carry on
As stars looking down
As nature’s sons
And daughters of the heavens

You will not ever be forgotten by me
In the procession of the mighty stars
Your name is sung and tattooed now on my heart
Here I will carry, carry, carry you forever

You have touched my life
So that now
Cathedrals of sound are singing, are singing
The waves have come to walk with you
To where you will live in the land of you,
Land of you

You will not ever be forgotten by me
In the procession of the mighty stars
Your name is sung and tattooed now on my heart
Here I will carry, carry, carry you
Here I will carry, carry, carry you forever.

Mary lyrics - Tori Amos

Everybody wants something from you,
Everybody want a piece of mary
Lush valley all dressed in green
Just ripe for the picking

God i want to get you out of here
You can ride in a pink mustang
When i think of what we've done to you
Oh, mary, can you hear me?

Growing up isn't always fun
They tore your dress and stole your ribbons
They see you cry, they lick their lips
But butterflies don't belong in nets

Oh mary, can you hear me?
Mary, you're bleeding
Mary, don't be afraid
We're just waking up
And i hear help is on the way

Mary, can you hear me?
Mary, like jimmy said
Mary, don't be afraid
'cause even the wind...
Even the wind cries your name

Everybody wants you, sweetheart
Everybody got a dream of glory
Las vegas got a pin-up girl
They got her armed as they buy and sell her

Rivers of milk are running dry
Can't you hear the dolphins crying
What'll we do when our babies scream
Fill their mouths with some acid rain

Oh mary, can you hear me?
Mary, you're bleeding
Mary, don't be afraid
We're just waking up
And i hear help is on the way

Mary, can you hear me?
Mary, like jimmy said
Mary, don't be afraid
'cause even the wind...
Even the wind cries your name

Na nay nay nay nay, na na na nay nay
Na nay nay nay nay, na na na nay nay, ooh ooh
Na nay nay nay nay, na na na nay

Oh butterflies don't belong in nets

Oh mary, can you hear me?
Mary, you're bleeding
Mary, don't be afraid
We're just waking up
And i hear help is on the way

Mary, can you hear me?
Mary, like jimmy said
Mary, don't be afraid
'cause even the wind...
Even the wind cries your name
'cause even the wind cries your name
'cause even the wind cries your name
Cries your name...
Cries your name...
Cries your name...

Spark lyrics - Tori Amos

She's addicted to nicotine patches
She's addicted to nicotine patches
She's afraid of the light in the dark
6:58 are you sure where my spark is
Here
Here
Here

She's convinced she could hold back a glacier
But she couldn't keep Baby alive
Doubting if there's a woman in there somewhere
Here

You say you don't want it again
And again but you don't really mean it
You say you don't want it
This circus we're in
But you don't you don't really mean it
You don't really mean it
if the Divine master plan is perfection
Maybe next I'll give Judas a try
Trusting my soul to the ice cream assassin
Here

You say you don't want it again
And again but you don't really mean it
You say you don't want it
This cirucs we're in
But you don't you don't really mean it
You don't really mean it
How may fates turn around in the overtime
Ballerinas that have fins that you'll never find
You thought that you were the bomb yeah
Well so did I
Say you don't want it
Say you don't want it
Say you don't want it again
And again but you don't really mean it
Say you don't want it
This circus we're in
But you don't you don't really mean it
You don't really mean it

She's addicted to nicotine patches
She's afraid of the light in the dark
6:58 are you sure where my spark is
Here

Cruel lyrics - Tori Amos

So don't give me respect
Don't give me a piece of your presiousness
flaunt all sh'es got in our old neighbourhood
I'm sure she'll make a few friends
Even the rain bows down
Let us pray as you cock-cock-cock your mane
No cigarettes only peeled Havanas for you
I can be cruel
I don't know why
Why can't my ba.ll.oo.n stay up in a perfectly windy sky
I can be cruel
I don't know why
I don't know why
Dance with the Sufis
Celebrate your top ten in the charts of pain
Lover brother bogenvilla
My vine twists around your need
Even the rain is sharp
Like today as you sh-sh-shock me sane
No cigarettes only peeled havanas for you
I can be cruel
I don't know why
Why can't my ba.ll.oo.n stay up in a perfectly windy sky
I can be cruel
I don't know why
I don't know why
I can be cruel
I don't know why
Why can't my ba.ll.oo.n stay up in a perfectly windy sky
I can be cruel
I don't know why
I don't know why

Black-Dove (January) lyrics - Tori Amos

She was a january girl
She never let on how insane it was
In that tiny kinda scary house
By the woods
By the woods
By the woods

Black-dove
Black-dove
You're not a helicopter
You're not a cop out either
Black-dove
Black-dove
You don't need a space ship
They don't know you've already lived
On the other side of the galaxy
The other side of the galaxy
The other side of teh galaxy

She had a january world
So many storms not right somehow
How a lion becomes a mouse
By the woods
By the woods
By the woods
By the woods
By the woods
By the woods
But I have to get to TEXAS
Said I have to get to TEXAS
And I'll give away my blue blue dress

Black-dove
Black-dove
You don't need a space ship
They don't know you've already lived
On the other side of the galaxy
The other side of the galaxy
The other side of the galaxy

But I have to get to TEXAS
Said I have to get to TEXAS
And I'll give away my blue blue dress

She has a january girl
She never let on how insane it was
In that tiny kinda scary house
By the woods
By the woods
By the woods
By the woods
By the woods
By the woods
By the woods
By the woods
By the woods
Black-dove

Raspberry Swirl lyrics - Tori Amos

I am not you senorita
I am not from your tribe
In the garden I did no crime
I am not your senorita
I am not from your tribe
If you want inside her
Well,
Boy you better make her raspberry swirl
Things are getting desperate
When all the boys can't be men
Everybody knows
I'm her friend
Everybody knows
I'm her man
Things are getting desperate
When all the boys can't be men
Everybody knows
I'm her friend
Everybody knows
I'm her man
I am not your senorita
I don't aim so high
IM my heart I did no crim
If you want inside her well,
Boy you better make her raspberry swirl
Things are getting desperate
When all the boys can't be men
Everybody knows
I'm her friend
Everybody knows
I'm her man
Things are getting desperate
When all the boys can't be men
Everybody knows
I'm her friend
Everybody knows
I'm her man
Raspberry swirl

Jackie's Strength lyrics - Tori Amos

A bouvier till her wedding day
Shots rang out
The police came
Mama layed me on the front lawn
And prayed for Jackie's strength
Feeling old by 21
Never thought my day would come
My bridesmaids getting laid
I pray for Jackie's strength

Make me laugh
Say you know what you want
You said we were the real thing
So I show you some more and I learn
What black magic can do
Make me laugh
Say you know you can turn
Me into the real thing
So I show you some more
And I learn

Stickers licked on lunch boxes
Worshipping David Cassidy
Yeah I mooned him once
On Donna's box
She's still in recovery
Sleep-overs Beene's got some pot
You're only popular with anorexia
So I turn myself inside out
In hope someone will see

Make me laugh
Say you know what you want
You said we were the real thing
So I show you some more and I learn
What black magic can do
Make me laugh
Say you know you can turn
Me into the real thing
So I show you some more
And I learn

I got lost on my wedding day
Typical the police came
But virgins always get backstage
No matter what they've got to say
If you love enough you'll lie a lot
Guess they did in Camelot
Mama's waiting on my front lawn
I pray
I pray
I pray
For Jackie's strength

Make me laugh
Say you know what you want
You said we were the real thing
So I show you some more and I learn
Jackie's strength

iieee lyrics - Tori Amos

With your E's
And your ease
And I do one more
Need a lip gloss boost
In your america
Is it God's
Is it your's
Sweet saliva
With your E's
And your ease
And I do one more
I know we're dying
And there's no sign of a parachute
We scream in catherdrals
Why can't it be beautiful
Why does there
Gotta be a sacrifice
Just say yes
You little arsonist
You're so sure you can save
Every hair on my chest
Just say yes
You little arsonist
With your E's
And your ease
And I do one more
Well I know we're dying
And there's no sign of a parachute
In this Chapel
Little chapel of love
Can't we get a little grace
And some elegance
No we scream in cathedrals
Why can't it be beautiful
Why does there
Gotta be a sacrifice

Liquid Diamonds lyrics - Tori Amos

Surrender then start you engines
You'll konw quite soon what me mistake
Was
For those on horseback or dog sled
You turn on at the bend in the road
I hear she still grants forgivenesss
Although I willingly forgot her
The offering is molasses and you say
I guess I'm an underwater thing so I
Guess I can't take it personally
I guess I'm an underwater thing I'm
Liquid running
There's a sea secret in me
It's plain to see it is rising
But I must be flowing liquid diamonds
Calling for my soul
At the corners of the world
I know she's playing poker with the rest of the stragglers
Calling for my sould at the corners of the world
I know she's playing poker
And if your friends don't come back to you
And you know this is madness
A lilac mess in your prom dress
And you say
I guess I'm and underwater thing

She's Your Cocaine lyrics - Tori Amos

She's your Cocaine
She's got you shaving your legs
You can suck anything
But you know you wanna be me
Put on your make-up boy
You're your favourite stranger
And we all like to watch
So shimmy once and do it again
Bring you sister
Bring you sister if you can't handle it
She says control it
Then she says don't control it
Then she says you're controlling
The way she makes you crawl
She's your cocaine your Exodus laughing
And she knows
What you are
So shimmy once and do it again
Bring you sister
Bring you siter if you can't handle it
If you want me to
Boy I could lie to you
You don't need on of these to let me inside of you
And is it true
That devils end up like you
Something safe for the picture frame
And is it true
That devils end up like you
So tied up you don't know how she came
She's you Cocaine
She's go you shaving your legs
She got you liking mine back
Go me takin it in
Getting mine back
Lasting mine evil
I'm taking me easel
And I"m writing good checks
You sign Price of Darkness
Try squire of dimness
Please don't help me with this
Please don't help me with this
Please don't help me with this

Cut it again

Northern Lad lyrics - Tori Amos

Had a northern lad
Well not exactly had
He moved like the sunset
God who painted that
First he love my accent
How his knees could bend
I thought we'd be ok
Me and my molasses
But I feel someting is wrong
But I fell this cake just isn't done
Don't say that you Don't
And if you could see me now
Said if you could see me now
Girls you've got to know
When it's time to turn the page
When you're only wet
Because of the rain
He don't show much these days
It's gets so fucking cold
I loved his secret places
But I can't go anymore
"you change like sugar cane"
Says me northern lad
I guess you go too far
When pianos try to be guitars
I feel the west in you
And I feel it falling apart too
Don't say that you Don't
And if you could see me now
Said if you could see me now
Girls you've got to know
When it's time to turn the page
When you're only wet
Because of the rain
When you're only wet
Because of the rain

Hotel lyrics - Tori Amos

Met 'em in a Hotel
Met 'em in a Hotel
Beneath ground
Tell me that he's missing
Tell me this is one for
Lollipop Gestapo
You were wild
Where are you now
You were wild
Where are you now
I have to learn to let you crash down
I have to learn to let you crash down
I have to learn to let you crash
Met 'em in a Hotel
Met 'em in a Hotel
You say he's the biggest thing
There'll be this year
I guess that what I"m seeking
I guess that what I'm seeking Isn't here
Met him in a Hotel
Met him in a guess world
Guessesd anyone but you
You were wild
Where are you now
You were wild
Where are you now
Give me more
give me more
Give me more
I have to learn to let you crash down
I have to learn to let you crash down
I have to learn to let you crash
Where are the velvets
Where are the velvets
Where are the velvets
When you're coming down
You were wild
Where are you now
You were wild
Where are you now
King Solomon's Mines
Exit 75
I'm still alive
I'm still alive
I'm still alive

Playboy Mommy lyrics - Tori Amos

In my platforms
I hit the floor
Fell face down
Didn't help my brain out
Then the baby came
Before I found
The magic how
To keep her happy
I never was the fantasy
Of what you want
Wanted me to be
Don't judge me so harsh little girl
So
You got a playboy mommy
But when you tell em my name
And you want to cross that
Bridge all on your own
Little girl they'll do you no harm
Cause they know
Your playboy mommy
But when you tell em my name
From here to Birminghman I got a few friends
I never was there
Was there when it counts
I get my way
You're so like me
You seemed ashamed
Ashamed that I was
A good friend of American soldiers
I'll say it loud here by your grave
Those angels can't
Ever take my place
Somewhere where the orchids grow
I can't find those church bells
That played when you died
Played Gloria
Talkin bout
Hosanah
Don't judge me so harsh little girl
You got a playboy mommy
Come home
But when you tell them soldiers my name
And cross that bridge all on your own
Little girl they'll do you no home
Cause they know your playboy mommy
I'll be home
I'll be home
To take you in my arms

Pandora's Aquarium lyrics - Tori Amos

Pandora
Pandora's aquarium
She dives for shells
With her nautical nuns
And thoughts you thought
You'd never tell I am not asking you to believe in me Boy I think you're confused
I'm not Persephone foam can be dangerous with tape across my mouth these
Things you do I never asked you how Line me up in single file with all your
Grievances Stare but I can taste you're still alive below the waste ripples come and
Ripples go
And ripple back to me Pandora
Pandora's aquarium
She dives for shells
With her nautical nuns
And thoughts you thought
You'd never tell
Line me up in single file
With all you grievances
Stare but I can tast
You're still alive below the waste
Ripples come and ripples
Go and ripple back to me
I am not asking you to believe in
Me Boy I think you're confused
I'm not Persephone
She's in New Yourk somewhere
Checking her accounts
The Lord of The Files was
Diagnosed as Sound

Beauty Queen - Horses lyrics - Tori Amos

Hey Hey
She's a Beauty Queen
My sweet bean bag in the street
Take it
Down out to the laundry scene
Don't know why she's in my hand
Can't figure what it is
But I lie again

I got me some horses
To ride on
To ride on
They say that your demons
Can't go there
So I got me some horses
To ride on
To ride on
As longs as your army
Keeps perfectly still
And maybe I'll find me a sailor
A tailor
And maybe together
We'll Make mother well
So I got me some horses
To ride on
To ride on
As long as you army
Keeps perfectly still
You showed me the meadow
And Milkwood
And Silkwood
and you would if I would
But you never would
So I chased down your posies
Your pansies in my hosies
Then opened me hands
And they were empty then

Off with Superfly
Sniffing a Sharpie pen
Honey it's Bill and Ben
Off with Superfly
Counting your bees
Oh me honey like
One two three
The camera is rolling
It's easy like
One
Two
Three
And if there is a way to find you
I will find you
But will you find me if Neil
Makes me a tree
an afro
a pharaoh
I can't go
You said so
And threads that are golden
Don't break easily
So I got me some horses
To ride on
To ride on
You say that your demons
Can't go there
So I got me some horses
To ride on
To ride on
As long as your army
Keeps perfectly still
Keeps perfectly still
Keeps perfectly still

Blood Roses lyrics - Tori Amos

Blood roses
Blood roses
Back on the street now
Blood roses
Blood roses
Back on the street now
Can't forget the things you never said
On days like these starts me thinking
When chickens get a taste of your meat girl
Chickens get a taste of your meat yes

You gave him you blood
And your warm little diamond
He likes killing you after you're dead
You think I'm a queer
I think you're a queer
Said I think you're a queer
I think you're a queer
I shaved every place where you been boy
I said I shaved every place where you been yes

God knows I know
I've thrown away those graces
God knows I've thrown away
Those graces
God knows I know
I've thrown away those graces

The Belle of New Orleans tried to show me
Once how to tango
Wrapped around you feet
Wrapped around like good little roses

Blood Roses
Blood Roses
Back on the street now
Blood Roses
Blood Roses
Back on the street now
Now, Now
Now you've cut out the flute
From the throat of the loon
At least when you cry now
He can't even hear you
When chickens get a taste of your meat girl
Come on
Come on
Come on
Come on
Come on
Come on
Come on
Come on
Come on
When he sucks you deep
Sometimes you're nothing but meat

Father Luciferlyrics - Tori Amos

Father Lucifer
You never looked so sane
You always did prefer the drizzle to the rain
Tell me that you're still in love with that Milkmaid
How's the Lizzies
How's your Jesus christ been hanging

Nothings gonna stop me from floating
Nothings gonna stop me from floating

He says he reckons I'm a watercolour stain
He says I run and then I run from him
And then I run
He didn't see me watching
From the aeroplane
He wiped a tear
And then he threw away our appleseed

Nothings gonna stop me from floating
Nothings gonna stop me from floating

Everyday's my wedding day
Though baby's still in his comatose state
I'll die my own Easter eggs
Don't go yet
Just don't go
And Beenie lost the sunset but that's OK
Does Joe bring flowers to Marilyn's grave
And girls that eat pizza and never gain weight
Never gain weight
Never gain weight
Father Lucifer you never looked so sane
You always did prefer the drizzle to the rain
Tell me that you're still in love with that milkmaid
How's the Lizzies
How's your Jesus Chirst been hanging

Professional Widow lyrics - Tori Amos

Slag pit
Stag shit
Honey bring it close to my lips
Yes
Don't blow those brains yet
We gotta be big boy
We gotta be big
Starfucker just like my Daddy
Just like my Daddy selling his baby
Just like my Daddy
Gonna strike a deal made him feel
Like a congressman
It runs in the family

Rest your shoulder Peaches and Cream
Everywhere a Judas as fast as you can see
Beautiful angel
Calling "We got every re-run of Muhammad Ali"

Prism perfect
Honey bring it close to your lips
Yes
What is termed a landslide of principle
Proportion boy it better be big boy
Starfucker just like my Daddy
Just like my Daddy selling his baby
Just like my daddy
Gonna strike a deal make him feel
Like a Congressman
It runs in the family
Mother Mary
China white
Brown may be sweeter
She will supply
Mother Mary
China white
Brown may be sweeter
She will supply
She will supply
She will supply
She will supply

Mr. Zebra lyrics - Tori Amos

Hello Mr. Zebra
Can I have you sweater
Cause it's cold cold cold
In my hole hole hole
Ratatouille Strychnine
Sometimes she's a friend of mine
With a gigantic whirlpool
That will blow your mind

Hello Mr. Zebra
Ran into some confusion with a Mrs. Crocodile
Furry mussels marching on
She thinks she's Kaiser Wilhelm
Or a civiliaes syllabub
To blow your mind
Figure it out
She's a goodtime fella
She got a little fund to fight for Moneypenny's rights
Figure it out
She's a goodtime fella
Too bad the burial was premature she said
And smilied

Marianne lyrics - Tori Amos

Tuna
Rubber
A little blubber in my igloo
And I knew you pigtails and all
Grils when they fall
And they said Marianne killed herself
And I said not a chance
Don't you love the girls ladies babes
Old bags who say she was so pretty why
Why why why did she crawl down in the old
Deep ravine

C'mon pigtails girls and all those sailors
Get your bags and hold down won't you just
Hold down cause Ed is watching my every sound
I said
They're watching my every sound

The weasel squeaks faster than a seven day week
I said Timmy and that purple Monkey
Are all down
At Bobby's house
Making themselves pesters and lesters and jesters an dmy
Traitors of kind
And I'm just having thoughts of Marianne
She could outrun the fastest slug
She could
Marianne
Quickest girl in the frying pan

Caught A Lite Sneeze lyrics - Tori Amos

Caught a lite sneeze caught a lite breeze
Caught a lightweight lightingseed
Boys on my left side
Boys on my right side
Boys in th emiddle
And you're not here I need a big oan
From the girl zone

Building
tumbling down
Didn't know our love was so small
Coun't stand at all
Mr. St. John just bring you son

The spire is hot
And my cells can't feed
And you still got that Belle dragging your foots
I'm hiding it well Sister Ernestine
But I still got that Belle
Dragging my foots

Right on time you get closer
And closer
Called my name but there's no way in
Use that fame
Rent you wife and kids today
Maybe she will
Maybe she will caught a lite sneeze
Dreamed a little dream
Made my own pretty hate machine
Boys on my left side
Boys on my right side
Boys in the middle and you're not here
Boys in their dresses
And you're not here
I need a big loan from the girl zone

Muhammad My Friend lyrics - Tori Amos

Muhammad my friend
It's time to tell the world
We both know it was a girl back in Bethlehem
And on that fateful day
When she was crucified
She wore Shiseido Red an dwe drank tea
By her side

Sweet sweet
Used to be so sweet to me

Muhammad my friend
I'm getting very scared
Teach me how to love my brothers
Who don't know the law
And what aobut the deal on the flying
Trapeze got a peanut butter hand
But honey do drop in at the
Dew Drop Inn

Sweet sweet
Between the boys and the bees

And Moses I know
I know you've seen fire
But you've never seen fire
Until you've seen Pele blow
And I've never seen light
But I sure have seen gold
And Gladys save the place for me
On your grapevine
Till I get my own TV Show

Ashre ashre ashre ashre
And if I lose my Cracker Jacks at the
Tidal wave I got a place
In the Pope's rubber robe
Muhammad my friend
It's time to tell the world
We both know it was a girl
Back in Bethlehem

Hey Jupiter lyrics - Tori Amos

No one's picking up the phone
Guess it's me and me
And this little masochist
She's ready to confess
All the things that I never thought
That she could feel

Hey Jupiter
Nothing's been the same
So are you gay?
Are you blue?
Thought we both could use a friend
To run to
And I thought I wouldn't have to be with you
Something new

Sometimes I breathe you in
And I know that you know
And sometimes you take a swim
Found your writing on my wall
You left my heart soaking wet
Boy your boots can leave a mess

Hey Jupiter
Nothing's been the same
So are you gay?
Are you blue?
Thought we both could use a friend
To run to
And I thought you wouldn't have to keep
With me
Hiding

Thought I knew myself so well
All the dolls I had
Took my leather off the shelf
Your apocalypse was fab
For a girl who couldn't choose between
The shower or the bath

And I thought I wouldn't have to be
With you
A magazine

No one's picking up the phone
Guess it's clear he's gone
And this little masochist
Is lifting up her dress
Guess I thought I could never feel
The things I feel

Hey Jupiter
Nothing's been the same
So are you gay?
Are you blue?
Thought we both could use a friend
To run to

Hey Jupiter
Nothing's been the same
So are you safe?
Now we're through?
Thought we both could use a friend
To run to
Hey Jupiter
