Girl

~Tori Amos~

 

From in the shadow she calls

And in the shadow she finds a way, finds a way

And in the shadow she crawls

Clutching her faded photograph

My image under her thumb

Yes with a message for my heart

Yes with a message for my heart

She's been everybody else's girl

Maybe one day she'll be her own

Everybody else's girl

Maybe one day she'll be her own

And in the doorway they stay

And laugh as violins fill with water

Screams from the bluebells can't make them go away

Well I'm not seventeen

But I've cuts on my knees

Falling down as the winter takes one more cherry tree

She's been everybody else's girl

Maybe one day she'll be her own

Everybody else's girl

Maybe one day she'll be her own

Rushin' rivers thread so thin

Limitation

Dreams with the flying pigs

Turbid blue

And the drugstores too

Safe in their coats and in their do's

Yeah smother our hearts

A pillow to my dots

One day maybe

One day, one day

She'll be her own

And in the mist there she rides

And castles are burning in my heart

And as I twist I hold tight

And I ride to work every morning

Wondering why

"Sit in the chair and be good now"

And become, all that they told you

The white coats enter her room

And I'm callin' my baby

Callin' my baby

Callin' my baby

Callin'

Everybody else's girl

Maybe one day she'll be her own…
