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?"
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
(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)

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
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

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

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

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
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

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"
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
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

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

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

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.
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
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
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
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"
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

At ten comes the vine

The constant change of the night sun

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
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

Will you induct me into
The drink of the cactus practice?

Maybe he and I

Eternally linked into chasing

Eternally linked into chasing
