That Tori Amos Song


I was listening to my Tori Amos CD (as in compact disc) more specifically to her song "She's Your Cocaine", and the lyrics to me always hinted at CDing. Well, in the beginning she hints at it, yet towards the end, the song takes a turn that is to me undecipherable. But that is characteristic of her in many of her songs. Make your own conclusions. Here are the words:

She's Your Cocaine
She's your cocaine
She's got you shaving your legs
You can suck anything
But you know, you wanna be me
Put on your makeup, boy
You're your favorite stranger
and we all like to watch
So shimmy once and do it again
Bring your sister, bring your sister
if you can't handle it
Bring your sister, bring your sister
if you can't handle it
She says control it
Then she says don't control it
Then she says you're controlling
The way she makes you crawl
She's your cocaine, your Exodus laughing
and she knows what you are
So shimmy once and do it again
Bring your sister, bring your sister
if you can't handle it
Bring your sister, bring your sister
if you can't handle it

If you want me to, boy i could lie to you
You don't need one of these to let me inside of you
And is it true, that devils end up like you
Something safe for the picture frame
And is it true, that devils end up like you
So tied up, you don't know how she came
She's your Cociane
She's got you shaving your legs
She's got you liking mine back
Got me taking it in
Getting mine back
Lasting mine evil
I'm taking my easel
and i'm writing good checks
You sign Prince of Darkness
Try Squire of Dimness
Please don't help me with this
Please don't help me with this
Please don't help me with this


Do you think it has anything to do with CDs? If so, what kind of impression do you get from it? Any other opinions?

It does seem to have a cd impression it. Dont know how to explain it though:) - Anonymous

I agree Marie ! The lines: She`s got you shaving your legs. Put on your make-up, boy. But you know you want to be me. The whole song eludes to a crossdressers relationship to self and her relationship with him. Ashley
