Daisy Dead Petals, that is her name
She's in a phone booth phase
So underneath the shade of a peppermint tray
She can turn it out with a heal on
She just rides into town
Knowing what they'll say
Knowing they're around the corner
Got a crack in
Got a crack in some strange places
Daisy Dead Petals, that is her name
So maybe she tastes like a hamburger maid, well
"These dead petals, honey, brought me here"
She said, "These dead petals, honey, brought me here"
Dancing on a dime
Hearing mother cry
Maybe she's around the corner
Got a crack in
Got a crack in some strange places
On my back with
On my back with some dirty dishes
Falling down, falling down, all over the river
Falling down, falling down, falling down
Wish what I'm feeling could go on like this forever
Falling down, falling down, falling down
And since we're down, might as well stay
Might as well fry some eggs
And wave to the shade of the peppermint tray
She's a new friend, not a skeleton
To ride into town, knowing what they'll say
Knowing she tastes like a hamburger maid
But, "These dead petals, honey, brought me here"
She said, "These dead petals, honey, brought me here"
She said, "These dead petals, honey, brought me here"
Sister Janet lyrics - Tori Amos
Master Shamen I have come
With my dolly from the shadow side
With a demon and an Englishman
I'm my mother, I'm my son
Nobody else is slipping the blade in easy
Nobody else is slipping the blade in the marmalade
But all the angels and all the wizards black and white
Are lighting candles in our hands
Can you feel them, yes, touching hands before our eyes
And I can even see sweet Marianne
Sister Janet, you have come
From the woman clothed with the sun
Your veil is quietly becoming none
Call the wanderer, he has gone
And all those up there are making it look so easy
With your perfect wing, a wing can cover all sorts of things
And all the angels and all the wizards black and white
Are lighting candles in our hands
Can you feel them, yes, touching hands before our eyes
And I can even see sweet Marianne
Hey, yes, this again
Well, I think I could try this once again
With my dolly from the shadow side
With a demon and an Englishman
I'm my mother, I'm my son
Nobody else is slipping the blade in easy
Nobody else is slipping the blade in the marmalade
But all the angels and all the wizards black and white
Are lighting candles in our hands
Can you feel them, yes, touching hands before our eyes
And I can even see sweet Marianne
Sister Janet, you have come
From the woman clothed with the sun
Your veil is quietly becoming none
Call the wanderer, he has gone
And all those up there are making it look so easy
With your perfect wing, a wing can cover all sorts of things
And all the angels and all the wizards black and white
Are lighting candles in our hands
Can you feel them, yes, touching hands before our eyes
And I can even see sweet Marianne
Hey, yes, this again
Well, I think I could try this once again
Sugar lyrics - Tori Amos
Don't say morning's come
Don't say it's up to me
If I could take 25 minutes
I'd have the record books
Sugar
He brings me sugar
Bobby's collecting bees
Hand hammers, he used one on me
Cold walls, little boys
Get in with them, bubble gum tree
Sugar
Bring me sugar
And all the robins bring
Bring me many things but
Sugar
He brings me sugar
As far as I can tell
I've been gone for miles now
And you know, and I know
I don't know me very well
And I know, and you know
If they found me, ah
Sugar
Bring me sugar
And all the robins bring
Bring me many things but
Sugar
Bring me sugar
And all the robins bring
Bring me many things but
Don't say it's up to me
If I could take 25 minutes
I'd have the record books
Sugar
He brings me sugar
Bobby's collecting bees
Hand hammers, he used one on me
Cold walls, little boys
Get in with them, bubble gum tree
Sugar
Bring me sugar
And all the robins bring
Bring me many things but
Sugar
He brings me sugar
As far as I can tell
I've been gone for miles now
And you know, and I know
I don't know me very well
And I know, and you know
If they found me, ah
Sugar
Bring me sugar
And all the robins bring
Bring me many things but
Sugar
Bring me sugar
And all the robins bring
Bring me many things but
Take To The Sky lyrics - Tori Amos
This house is like Russia
With eyes cold and grey
You've got me moving in a circle
I dyed my hair red today
I just want a little passion
To hold me in the dark
I know I've got some magic
Buried, buried deep in my heart, yeah
But my priest says, "You ain't saving no souls."
My father says, "You ain't making any money."
My doctor says, "You just took it to the limit."
And here I stand, with this sword in my hand
You can say it one more time
What you don't like
Let me hear it one more time
Then have a seat while I take to the sky
Take to the sky
My heart is like the ocean
It gets in the way
So close to touching freedom
Then I hear the guards call my name
And my priest says, "You ain't saving no souls."
My father says, "You ain't making any money."
My doctor says, "You just took it to the limit."
And here I stand, with this sword in my hand
You can say it one more time
What you don't like
Let me hear it one more time
Then have a seat while I take to the sky
Take to the sky
If you don’t like me just a little, well, why do you hang around
If you don’t like me just a little, well, why do you hang around
If you don’t like me just a little, well, why do you take it, take it, take it, take it, take it
There she, there she, there she goes again, wearing those purple panties
There she, there she, there she goes again, wearing her heart
There she, there she, there she goes again, why do you take it
This house is like Russia
You can say it one more time
You can say it one more time
You can say it one more time
What you don’t like
Let me hear it one more time
Then have a seat while I take to the sky
Take to the sky
Take to the sky
Take to the sky
Take to the sky
With eyes cold and grey
You've got me moving in a circle
I dyed my hair red today
I just want a little passion
To hold me in the dark
I know I've got some magic
Buried, buried deep in my heart, yeah
But my priest says, "You ain't saving no souls."
My father says, "You ain't making any money."
My doctor says, "You just took it to the limit."
And here I stand, with this sword in my hand
You can say it one more time
What you don't like
Let me hear it one more time
Then have a seat while I take to the sky
Take to the sky
My heart is like the ocean
It gets in the way
So close to touching freedom
Then I hear the guards call my name
And my priest says, "You ain't saving no souls."
My father says, "You ain't making any money."
My doctor says, "You just took it to the limit."
And here I stand, with this sword in my hand
You can say it one more time
What you don't like
Let me hear it one more time
Then have a seat while I take to the sky
Take to the sky
If you don’t like me just a little, well, why do you hang around
If you don’t like me just a little, well, why do you hang around
If you don’t like me just a little, well, why do you take it, take it, take it, take it, take it
There she, there she, there she goes again, wearing those purple panties
There she, there she, there she goes again, wearing her heart
There she, there she, there she goes again, why do you take it
This house is like Russia
You can say it one more time
You can say it one more time
You can say it one more time
What you don’t like
Let me hear it one more time
Then have a seat while I take to the sky
Take to the sky
Take to the sky
Take to the sky
Take to the sky
Upside Down lyrics - Tori Amos
God, I love to turn my little blue world upside down
God, I love to turn my little blue world upside down
Inside my head the noise, chatter, chatter, chatter, chatter, chatter
You see I'm afraid I'll always be still coming out of my mother upside down
Don't you love to turn this little blue girl upside down
Oh, I know you love to turn this little blue girl, baby, upside down
But my heart it says you've been shatter, shatter, shatter, shatter, shattered
And I know you're still a boy, still coming out of your mother
But when you going to stand on your own
I say the world is sick
You say tell me what makes us, darling?
You see you always find my faults
Faster than you find you're own
You say the world is getting rid of her demons
I say, baby, what have you been smoking?
Well, I dreamed, I dreamed, I dreamed I loved a black boy
My daddy would scream
Don't you love to turn this little blue girl upside down
Any kind of touch I think is better than none even upside down
But you see I'm tangled up, got a kitten, kitten, kitten, kitten in my hair
Cincinnati, I like the word, it's the only thing we can't seem to turn upside down
Well, I found the secret to life
I found the secret to life
I'm okay when everything is not okay
I said I found the secret to life
I found the secret to life
I'm okay when everything is not okay, is not okay
Don't we love to turn our little blue world upside down
I said don't we love to turn our little blue world baby upside down
Inside my head a voice, chatter, chatter, chatter, chatter, chatter
And it says, girl, you're all the same, still coming out of your mothers
Still coming out of your mothers upside down
God, I love to turn my little blue world upside down
Inside my head the noise, chatter, chatter, chatter, chatter, chatter
You see I'm afraid I'll always be still coming out of my mother upside down
Don't you love to turn this little blue girl upside down
Oh, I know you love to turn this little blue girl, baby, upside down
But my heart it says you've been shatter, shatter, shatter, shatter, shattered
And I know you're still a boy, still coming out of your mother
But when you going to stand on your own
I say the world is sick
You say tell me what makes us, darling?
You see you always find my faults
Faster than you find you're own
You say the world is getting rid of her demons
I say, baby, what have you been smoking?
Well, I dreamed, I dreamed, I dreamed I loved a black boy
My daddy would scream
Don't you love to turn this little blue girl upside down
Any kind of touch I think is better than none even upside down
But you see I'm tangled up, got a kitten, kitten, kitten, kitten in my hair
Cincinnati, I like the word, it's the only thing we can't seem to turn upside down
Well, I found the secret to life
I found the secret to life
I'm okay when everything is not okay
I said I found the secret to life
I found the secret to life
I'm okay when everything is not okay, is not okay
Don't we love to turn our little blue world upside down
I said don't we love to turn our little blue world baby upside down
Inside my head a voice, chatter, chatter, chatter, chatter, chatter
And it says, girl, you're all the same, still coming out of your mothers
Still coming out of your mothers upside down
Flying Dutchman lyrics - Tori Amos
Hey, kid, I've got a ride for you
They say your brain is a comic book tattoo
And you'll never be anything
What will you do with your life?
Oh that's all you hear from noon till night
Take a trip on a rocket ship, baby
Where the sea is the sky
I know the guy who runs the place
And he's out of sight
Flying Dutchman, are you out there?
Flying Dutchman, are you out there?
Flying Dutchman
Straight suits, they don't understand
She tried that one with the alligator boots
But the other side drew her in
Heart falling fast when she left
Even the milky way was dressed in black
Take a trip on a rocket ship, baby
The sea is the sky
I know the guy who runs the place
And he's out of sight
Flying Dutchman, are you out there?
Flying Dutchman, are you out there?
Flying Dutchman
'Cause they can't see what you're born to be
They can't see me
They can't be what they can't believe
They can't see what you see
They'll keep the boy spinning in their own little world
Tie him up so he won't say a word
They'll keep the boy spinning in their own little world
So afraid he'll be what they never were
Take a trip on a rocket ship, baby
Where the sea is the sky
I know the guy who runs the place
And he's out of sight
Flying Dutchman, are you out there?
Flying Dutchman, are you out there?
Flying Dutchman
'Cause they can't see
'Cause they can't see
'Cause they can't see
Are you still out there?
They can't see but I fly now
I can see and I just lose myself
They can't see, they can't see
You know, you know, you're jumping from a high jump
Don't hide your head, hide your head
So many do, you know, but them, they can't see
They say your brain is a comic book tattoo
And you'll never be anything
What will you do with your life?
Oh that's all you hear from noon till night
Take a trip on a rocket ship, baby
Where the sea is the sky
I know the guy who runs the place
And he's out of sight
Flying Dutchman, are you out there?
Flying Dutchman, are you out there?
Flying Dutchman
Straight suits, they don't understand
She tried that one with the alligator boots
But the other side drew her in
Heart falling fast when she left
Even the milky way was dressed in black
Take a trip on a rocket ship, baby
The sea is the sky
I know the guy who runs the place
And he's out of sight
Flying Dutchman, are you out there?
Flying Dutchman, are you out there?
Flying Dutchman
'Cause they can't see what you're born to be
They can't see me
They can't be what they can't believe
They can't see what you see
They'll keep the boy spinning in their own little world
Tie him up so he won't say a word
They'll keep the boy spinning in their own little world
So afraid he'll be what they never were
Take a trip on a rocket ship, baby
Where the sea is the sky
I know the guy who runs the place
And he's out of sight
Flying Dutchman, are you out there?
Flying Dutchman, are you out there?
Flying Dutchman
'Cause they can't see
'Cause they can't see
'Cause they can't see
Are you still out there?
They can't see but I fly now
I can see and I just lose myself
They can't see, they can't see
You know, you know, you're jumping from a high jump
Don't hide your head, hide your head
So many do, you know, but them, they can't see
Here. In My Head lyrics - Tori Amos
In my head I found you there
And running around and following me
But you don't dare
But I find that I have now more than I ever wanted to
So maybe Thomas Jefferson wasn't born
In your backyard like you have said
And maybe I'm just the horizon you run to
When she has left you there
You are here in my head
And running around and calling me
"Come back I'll show you the roses that brush off the snow
And open their petals again and again"
And you know that apple green ice cream can melt in your hands
I can't so I held your hand at the fair
And even forgot what time it was
And even if Thomas Jefferson wasn't born
In your backyard like you have said
And maybe I'm just the horizon you run to
When she has left you and me here alone on the floor
You're counting my feathers as the bells toll
You see the bow and belt and the girl from the south
All favorites of mine, you know them all well
And spring brings fresh little puddles
That makes it all clear, makes it all
Do you know
Do you know what this is doing to me
Here
Here
Here
Here in my head
And running around and following me
But you don't dare
But I find that I have now more than I ever wanted to
So maybe Thomas Jefferson wasn't born
In your backyard like you have said
And maybe I'm just the horizon you run to
When she has left you there
You are here in my head
And running around and calling me
"Come back I'll show you the roses that brush off the snow
And open their petals again and again"
And you know that apple green ice cream can melt in your hands
I can't so I held your hand at the fair
And even forgot what time it was
And even if Thomas Jefferson wasn't born
In your backyard like you have said
And maybe I'm just the horizon you run to
When she has left you and me here alone on the floor
You're counting my feathers as the bells toll
You see the bow and belt and the girl from the south
All favorites of mine, you know them all well
And spring brings fresh little puddles
That makes it all clear, makes it all
Do you know
Do you know what this is doing to me
Here
Here
Here
Here in my head
Black Swan lyrics - Tori Amos
Ride on, ride on
Friends of the black swan
Ride on, ride on
Do you know where she's gone?
Gumdrops and Saturdays
Did Eric call by the way?
He knew, he knew
And he knew where the pillow goes
Ride on, ride on
Friends of the black swan
Ride on, ride on
You know where she's gone
Buttercups and the fishing flies
The biggest thickest ever sky
I know they know something
I know
Ride on, ride on now
Friends of the black swan
Ride on, ride on
You know where she's gone
Little green men do okay
It's the fairies' revenge they say
Gumdrops and Saturdays
Did Eric call?
Ride on, ride on
Friends of the black swan
Ride on, ride on
You know where she's gone
Ride on
Ride on
Ride on
Friends of the black swan
Ride on, ride on
Do you know where she's gone?
Gumdrops and Saturdays
Did Eric call by the way?
He knew, he knew
And he knew where the pillow goes
Ride on, ride on
Friends of the black swan
Ride on, ride on
You know where she's gone
Buttercups and the fishing flies
The biggest thickest ever sky
I know they know something
I know
Ride on, ride on now
Friends of the black swan
Ride on, ride on
You know where she's gone
Little green men do okay
It's the fairies' revenge they say
Gumdrops and Saturdays
Did Eric call?
Ride on, ride on
Friends of the black swan
Ride on, ride on
You know where she's gone
Ride on
Ride on
Ride on
Little Drummer Boy lyrics - Tori Amos
Come they told me
Par-rum-pa-pum-pum
A newborn king to see
Par-rum-pa-pum-pum
Our finest gifts we bring
Par-rum-pa-pum-pum
Mmm, fit to give our king
Par-rum-pa-pum-pum, rum-pa-pum-pum
Oooh, yes...
So, to honor him
Par-rum-pa-pum-pum
When we come
Yea...
Baby Jesus
Par-rum-pa-pum-pum
I am a poor boy too
Par-rum-pa-pum-pum
I have no gift to bring
Par-rum-pa-pum-pum
That's fit to give a king
Par-rum-pa-pum-pum, rum-pa-pum-pum
Oooh, yes...

Par-rum-pa-pum-pum
On my drum
Yes...
Mary nodded
Par-rum-pa-pum-pum
The ox and lamb kept time
Par-rum-pa-pum-pum
I played my drum for him
Par-rum-pa-pum-pum
I played my best for him
Par-rum-pa-pum-pum, rum-pa-pum-pum, rum-pa-pum-pum
Then he smiled at me
Par-rum-pa-pum-pum
Me and my drum
Yea...
Me and my drum
Yes, Anastasia lyrics - Tori Amos
I know what you want the magpies have come
If you know me so well then tell me which hand I use
Make them go
Make it go
Saw her there in a restaurant
Poppy don't go
I know your mother is a good one
But Poppy don't go
I'll take you home
Show me the things I've been missing
Show me the ways I forgot to be speaking
Show me the ways to get back to the Garden
Show me the ways to get around the get around
Show me the ways to button up buttons
That have forgotten they're buttons
Well we can't have that forgetting that
Girls girls what have we done to ourselves
Driving on the vine over clothes lines
But Officer I saw the sign
Thought I'd been through this in 1919
Counting the tears of ten thousand men
And gathered them all but my feet are slipping
There's something we left on the windowsill
There's something we left yes
We'll see how brave you are
We'll see how fast you'll be running
We'll see how brave you are
Yes, Anastasia
And all your dollies have friends
Thought she deserved no less than she'd give
Well happy birthday her blood's on my hands
It's kind of a shame 'cause I did like that dress
It's funny the things that you find in the rain
The things that you find in the mall and in the date mines
In the knot still in her hair
On the bus I'm on my way down
On my way down
All the girls seem to be there
We'll see how brave you are
Oh yes, we'll see how fast you'll be running
We'll see how brave you are
We'll see
We'll see how brave you are
Oh yes, we'll see how fast you'll be running
We'll see how brave you are
Yes, Anastasia
Come along now little darlin'
Come along now with me
Come along now little darlin'
We'll see how brave you are
Smells Like Teen Spirit lyrics - Tori Amos
(originally by Nirvana)
Load up on guns and bring your friends
It's fun to lose and to pretend
She's over bored and self-assured
Oh no, I know a dirty word
Hello, hello, hello, hello
Hello, hello
I'm worse at what, what I do best
And for this gift I feel blessed
Our little group has always been
And always will be until the end
Hello, hello, hello, hello
Hello, hello
With the lights out it's less dangerous
Here we are now, entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
Here we are now, entertain us
Hello, hello
With the lights out it's less dangerous
Here we are now, entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
Here we are now, entertain us
Yes
A mulatto, an albino, a mosquito, my libido
A denial, a denial, a denial, a denial, yes
A denial
Load up on guns and bring your friends
It's fun to lose and to pretend
She's over bored and self-assured
Oh no, I know a dirty word
Hello, hello, hello, hello
Hello, hello
I'm worse at what, what I do best
And for this gift I feel blessed
Our little group has always been
And always will be until the end
Hello, hello, hello, hello
Hello, hello
With the lights out it's less dangerous
Here we are now, entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
Here we are now, entertain us
Hello, hello
With the lights out it's less dangerous
Here we are now, entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
Here we are now, entertain us
Yes
A mulatto, an albino, a mosquito, my libido
A denial, a denial, a denial, a denial, yes
A denial
Darkest Hour lyrics - Tori Amos
[from "The Light Princess" soundtrack]
I feel light, even in my darkest hour,
The weight of this truth, it calms me.
To be light, grounded by a heavy heart,
And by the deeds they have done.
Then let the night show me the way,
Will darkness complete me?
Even invite shadow to stay,
As I gift the Lake each silent ache
That burns endlessly.
Lovely Lake, well-spring of all living things,
This paradise on earth, she calms me.
Water of life, give me my eternal sleep;
Oasis of blue, my grave.
So let the night show me the way,
Let darkness complete me;
I now invite shadow to stay
As I gift the stars my silent scars
That burn endlessly.
I feel light, even in my darkest hour.
I feel light.
I feel light, even in my darkest hour,
The weight of this truth, it calms me.
To be light, grounded by a heavy heart,
And by the deeds they have done.
Then let the night show me the way,
Will darkness complete me?
Even invite shadow to stay,
As I gift the Lake each silent ache
That burns endlessly.
Lovely Lake, well-spring of all living things,
This paradise on earth, she calms me.
Water of life, give me my eternal sleep;
Oasis of blue, my grave.
So let the night show me the way,
Let darkness complete me;
I now invite shadow to stay
As I gift the stars my silent scars
That burn endlessly.
I feel light, even in my darkest hour.
I feel light.
Flicker lyrics - Tori Amos
[from "Audrie & Daisy" soundtrack]
Flicker, yes flicker
There it is, a little less faint
A little more of your flame
Feel it warm your skin
Part of you trapped within
Shed a little light on this
Help me see
Shed a little light on this
Underneath the scarring from his defiling
Underneath the pain
Heroines
They are not born, they are made
A phoenix forms, her ashes rise
Expose their hell
Break Satan's spell
Fire purifies
It's redemption time
Flicker, yes, flicker
When neighbours and friends
Only give you their burning silence
Even with torches raised
Part of you can't feel safe
Shed a little light on this
Help me see
Shed a little light on this, please
Shed a little light on this
And on those who excuse this act of violence
Choosing you to play
Heroines
They are not born, they are made
A phoenix forms, her ashes rise
Expose their hell
Break Satan's spell
Fire purifies
It's redemption time
Shed a little light on this
Shed a little light on this
Flicker, yes flicker
There it is, a little less faint
A little more of your flame
Feel it warm your skin
Part of you trapped within
Shed a little light on this
Help me see
Shed a little light on this
Underneath the scarring from his defiling
Underneath the pain
Heroines
They are not born, they are made
A phoenix forms, her ashes rise
Expose their hell
Break Satan's spell
Fire purifies
It's redemption time
Flicker, yes, flicker
When neighbours and friends
Only give you their burning silence
Even with torches raised
Part of you can't feel safe
Shed a little light on this
Help me see
Shed a little light on this, please
Shed a little light on this
And on those who excuse this act of violence
Choosing you to play
Heroines
They are not born, they are made
A phoenix forms, her ashes rise
Expose their hell
Break Satan's spell
Fire purifies
It's redemption time
Shed a little light on this
Shed a little light on this
It's A Happy Day lyrics - Tori Amos
It's a happy day
For the water bugs have melt away
Not a bird is sitting in it's tree
Not a he, she, it or me
It's a happy day
Letter gate has sprung away
Taking all the floods to sea
Leaving uncle Sam and he
He was an air force man
Flyin' in all the news
She was his only queen
Nothing really left to lose
Yes, he was an air force man
Flyin' in all the news
She was his only queen
Nothing really left to lose
It's a happy day
For the world has come to stay
Not a creature sleeps today
The world will not go away
It's a happy day
Let us dream and sleep tonight
Of the world in it's plight
'cause I need top top find
Yes, he was an air force man
Flyin' in all the news
She was his only queen
Nothin' really left to lose
She was his only girl
She called him pop crackle
He was her only pearl
Flying out of tanger sound
It's a happy day
We are here to gather to stay
Not a person will keep us away
Our life is the greatest today
It's a happy day
This could go on all night
Let us bed by bright moonlight,
And have a good, good, good night
For the water bugs have melt away
Not a bird is sitting in it's tree
Not a he, she, it or me
It's a happy day
Letter gate has sprung away
Taking all the floods to sea
Leaving uncle Sam and he
He was an air force man
Flyin' in all the news
She was his only queen
Nothing really left to lose
Yes, he was an air force man
Flyin' in all the news
She was his only queen
Nothing really left to lose
It's a happy day
For the world has come to stay
Not a creature sleeps today
The world will not go away
It's a happy day
Let us dream and sleep tonight
Of the world in it's plight
'cause I need top top find
Yes, he was an air force man
Flyin' in all the news
She was his only queen
Nothin' really left to lose
She was his only girl
She called him pop crackle
He was her only pearl
Flying out of tanger sound
It's a happy day
We are here to gather to stay
Not a person will keep us away
Our life is the greatest today
It's a happy day
This could go on all night
Let us bed by bright moonlight,
And have a good, good, good night
