Twinkle lyrics - Tori Amos

Sure that star can twinkle
And you're watching it do
Boy so had boy so hard
But I know a girl
Twice as hard
And I'm sure
Said I'm sure
She's watching it too
No matter what tie she's got in her right dresser
Tied
I know she's watching that star

Gonna twinkle
Gonna twinkle
Gonna twinkle

And last time I knew
She worked at an Abbey in lona
She said "I killed a man T
I've gotta stay hidden in this Abbey"
But I can see that star
When she twinkles
And she twinkles
And I sure can
That means
I sure can

That means
I sure can
So hard
So hard

A Case Of You lyrics - Tori Amos

(originally by Joni Mitchell)

Just before our love got lost you said
"I am as constant as the northern star"
And I said, "Constantly in the darkness
Where's that at? If you want me I'll be in the bar"
On the back of a cotton coaster
In the blue TV screen light
I drew a map of Canada, oh Canada
With your face sketched on it twice

In my blood like holy wine
You taste so bitter, bitter and so sweet
Well, I could drink a case of you, darling
And I would still be on my feet
I would still be on my feet

Oh I am a lonely painter
I live in a box of paints
I'm frightened by the devil
And I'm drawn to those ones that ain't afraid
I remember that time you told me
"Love is touching souls", surely you touched mine
'Cause part of you pours out of me
In these lines from time to time

My blood, my holy wine
Tastes so bitter, bitter and so sweet
Well, I could drink a case of you, darling
And I would still be on my feet
I would still be on my feet

I met a woman, she had a mouth like yours
She knew your devils and your deeds
And she said, "Go to him, stay with him
But be prepared to bleed"

My blood, my holy wine
Tastes so bitter, bitter and so sweet
Well, I could drink a case of you, darling
And I would still be on my feet
I would still be on my feet

Well, I could drink a case of you, you, darling
And still be on my feet
I would still be on my feet

Honey lyrics - Tori Amos

A little dust never stopped me none
He liked my shoes, I kept them on
Sometimes I can hold my tongue and sometimes not
When you just skip-to-loo, my darling
And you know what you're doing so don't even

You're just too used to my honey now
You're just too used to my honey

And I think I could leave your world
If she was the better girl
So when we died I tried to bribe the undertaker
'Cause I'm not sure what you're doing or the reasons

You're just too used to my honey now
You're just too used to my honey
You're just too used to my honey now

Don't bother coming down
I made a friend of the western sky
Oh, don't bother coming down
You always liked your babies tight

Turn back one last time
Love to watch those cowboys ride
But cowboys know cowgirls ride on the Indian side
And you know what you're doing so don't even

You're just too used to my honey now
You're just too used to my honey
You're just too used to my honey now
You're just too used to my honey

Daisy Dead Petals lyrics - Tori Amos

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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...

Shall I play for you
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
