Crucify

~Tori Amos~

Every finger in the room is pointing at me

I wanna spit in their faces

Then 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 choose to sell out now

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

Just what God needs-one more victim

Why do we crucify ourselves?

Everyday I crucify myself

And nothing I do is good enough for you

Crucify myself

Everyday

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

Will you ever 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

God enough guilt to start my own religion

Why do we crucify ourselves?

Everyday, I crucify myself

And nothing I do is good enough for you

Crucify myself

Everyday

And my heart is sick of being in chains

Please be

Save me

I cry

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

Where are those angels,

When you need 'em?
