Rattlesnakes Rattlesnakes Jodie wears a hat although it hasn't rained for six days She says a girl needs a gun these days Hey on account of all the rattlesnakes She looks like Eve Marie Saint in on the waterfront She reads Simone de Beauvoir in her American circumstance She's less than sure if her heart has come to stay in San Jose And her neverborn child still haunts her As she speeds down the freeway As she tries her luck with the traffic police Out of boredom more than spite She never finds no trouble, she tries too hard She's obvious despite herself She looks like Eve Marie Saint in on the waterfront She says all she needs is therapy yeah All you need is, love is all you need Jodie never sleeps 'cause there are always needles in the hay She says that a girl needs a gun these days Hey on account of all the rattlesnakes She looks like Eve Marie Saint in on the waterfront As she reads Simone de Beauvoir in her American circumstance Her heart, heart's like crazy paving Upside down and back to front She says ooh, it's so hard to love When love was your great disappointment...

Ribbons Undone Ribbons Undone She's a girl Rising from a shell Running to spring It is her time it is her time Watch her run with ribbons undone She's a rose in a lily's cloak She can hide her charms It is her right there will be time To chase the sun with ribbons undone She runs like a fire does Just picking up daises Comes in for a landing A pure flash of lightening Past alice blue blossoms You follow her laughter And then she'll surprise you Arms filled with lavender Yes my little pony is growing up fast She corrects me and says "You mean a thoroughbred" A look in her eyes says the battle's beginning From school she comes home and cries I don't want to grow up Mom at last not tonight You're a girl Rising from a shell Running through spring With summer's hand in reach now It is your time It is your time So just run with ribbons undone It is your time yes my angel It is your time So just run with ribbons undone Run run darlin Ribbons undone...

Virginia Virginia İn the lush virginia hills They kept her as long as they could Cause they knew when the white brother Found white shell beads Wrapped around her skin A life giving river Her body open as will his hand And with a "goodbye" there she goes She may betray all that she loves And even wait for their savior to come And in some things, maybe he'll be right But as always the thing that he loves He will change from her sunrise to clockwise to soul trading Still she'll lay down her body Covering him all the same So hundreds of years go by (The red road carved up by sharp knife) She's a girl out working her trade And she loses a little each day To ghetto pimps and presidents Who try and arouse her turquoise serpents She can't recall what they represent And when you ask, she won't know She will betray Oh virginia Do you remember When the land held your hand Oh virginia She will let you back in Oh virginia You can't remember your name...

Wednesday Wednesday Nothing here to fear I'm just sitting around being foolish When there is work to be done Just a hang up call And the quiet breathing Of our persian We call cajun on a wednesday So we go from year to year With secrets we've been keeping Though you say you're not a templar man Seems as if we're circling For very different reasons But one day the eagle has to land Out past the fountain a left by the station i start the day İn the usual way Then think well why not And stop for a coffee Then begin to recall things that You say No one's at the door You suggest a ghost Perhaps a phantom I agree with this in part Something is with us I can't put my finger on İs thumbalina size 10 on a wednesday So we go you tell me To cheer up You suspect we're oddly even Even still The eagle has to land Out past the fountain Pluck up the courage And snap it's gone again I start humming "when doves cry" Can someone help me I think that i'm lost here Lost in a place called america...

Winter Winter Snow can wait, I forgot my mittens Wipe my nose, get my new boots on I get a little warm in my heart when I think of winter I put my hand in my father's glove I run off where the drifts get deeper Sleeping beauty trips me with a frown I hear a voice "You must learn to stand up for yourself cause I can't always be around" He says when you gonna make up your mind When you gonna love you as much as I do When you gonna make up your mind Cause things are gonna change so fast All the white horses are still in bed I tell you that I'll always want you near You say that things change my dear Boys get discovered as winter melts Flowers competing for the sun Years go by and I'm here still waiting Withering where some snowman was Mirror mirror where's the crystal palace but I only can see myself Skating around the truth who I am but I know, dad, the ice is getting thin When you gonna make up your mind When you gonna love you as much as I do When you gonna make up your mind Cause things are gonna change so fast All the white horses are still in bed I tell you that I'll always want you near You say that things change my dear Hair is grey and the fires are burning So many dreams on the shelf You say I wanted you to be proud I always wanted that myself When you gonna make up your mind When you gonna love you as much as I do When you gonna make up your mind Cause things are gonna change so fast All the white horses have gone ahead I tell you that I'll always want you near You say that things change my dear Never change All the white horses...

Witness Witness Thought I had a witness to this crime Thought I had a witness Thought we were on the same side of becoming Then the judges called in a witness C'mon So then when did you then begin your cravin for white powder Exotic matter that cells divide arresting time So in your furnace then You drank my tenderness Feldspar and Mica then You thought that you would own my temple of gold Gotta rise in the night Pick myself off the floor I know now that it's over Had a life before You left me burnin' in Your petrol emotion Your petrol emotion Wanting more Thought I had a witness C'mon Thought we had a friendship C'mon Thought I heard you whispering murder Thought this witches brew was more than bullet proof But words are like guns when you shoot the moon 'Cause everybody whispers C'mon Is there anyone? Is it any wonder I'm out the door Is there any way? Is there any way forward? Thought I had a witness Thought you were you Thought I was a witness You could turn to, not in Thought I had a witness to this crime Thought I had a witness C'mon... Tori Amos |
Your Cloud Your Cloud Where the river cross Crosses the lake Where the words Jump off my pen And into your pages Do you think Just like that You can divide This you as yours Me as mine to Before we were us İf the rain has to separate From itself Does it say "pick out your cloud?" Pick out your cloud İf there is A horizontal line That runs from the map Off your body Straight through the land Shooting up Right through my heart Will this horizontal line When asked Know how to find Where you end Where i begin "Pick out your cloud" How light can play And form a ring of rain That can change bows into arrows (I found a thrill) Who we were isn't lost Before we were us İndigo in his own Blue always knew this İf the rain Has to separate From itself Does it say pick out your cloud...
