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.[/i]
