Crucify

Gotta love Tori Amos. I hadn't listened to Little Earthquakes in about 13 years. Popped in the tape today, and saw/heard this song in a different light. Reminded me of some things. (The "angels" line is what did me in.  :cry2: )

I am hoping those heathens never used this as propheet music,  because then I will feel really stupid. I know that they changed some things around music-wise after my old and crusty era faded into obscurity.

Here's the mp3. Little scratchy, since it's from cassette: Crucify - Tori Amos[/color][/b]

Here are the lyrics.

Every finger in the room is pointed at me
I wanna spit in their faces
I get afraid of what that could bring
I got a bowling ball in my stomach
I got a desert in my mouth
Figures that my COURAGE would chose to sell out now

I've been searching for a savior in these dirty streets
Looking for a savior beneath these dirty sheets
I've been raising up my hands
Drive another nail in
Just what GOD needs
One more victim

Why do we
Crucify ourselves
Every day
I crucify myself
Nothing I do is good enough for you
Crucify myself
And my HEART is sick of
Being in chains

Got a kick for a dog beggin' for LOVE
I gotta have my suffering
So that I can have my cross
I know a cat named Easter
He says you will never learn
You're just an empty cage, girl, if you kill the bird

I've been looking for a savior in these dirty streets
Looking for a savior beneath these dirty sheets
I've been raising up my hands
Drive another nail in
Got enough GUILT to start
My own religion

Why do we
Crucify ourselves
Every day
I crucify myself
Nothing I do is good enough for you
Crucify myself
And my HEART is sick of
Being in chains

Please save me
I CRY

I've been searching for a savior in these dirty streets
Looking for a savior beneath these dirty sheets
I've been raising up my hands
Drive another nail in
Where are those ANGELS?
When you need them?

Why do we
Crucify ourselves
Every day
I crucify myself
Nothing I do is good enough for you
Crucify myself
And my HEART is sick of
Being in chains

Never going back again.

As of 98-00 they weren't using any tori amos in truth - values propheets. I think she was actually out of agreement. I hope they never changed that. One of my consolations about that place was that they usually never used any music in propheets that I wouldn't have gone out of my way to avoid in the first place. A lot of those songs still kick up some horrible memories.
