Tori Amos

 

Here are the most special lyrics of Tori Amos, an incredible creative and interesting artist. My favourite song (among others Ü) is Dàtura. I really want to know what she thought when she wrote this song...

:: A Sorta Fairytale ::

Scarlet's Walk

on my way up north, up on the Ventura
I pulled back the hood, and I was talking to you
and I knew then it would be a Life Long thing
but I didn't know that we
We could break a silver lining


And I'm so sad
like a good book
I can't put this Day Back
a sorta fairytale with you
a sorta fairytale with you


things you said that day, up on the 101
the girl had come undone
I tried to downplay it with a bet about us
You said that - You'd take it as long as I could
I could not erase it


and I ride along side
and I rode along side
You then and I rode along side
till you lost me there
in the open road


And I rode along side
till the honey spread itself so thin
for me to break your bread
for me to take your word
I had to steal it


I could pick back up
whenever I feel
down New Mexico way
something about the open road
I knew that he was
looking for some Indian Blood and
find a little in you find a little in me

we may be on this road but
We're just Imposters in this country you know
So we go along and we said we'd fake it
feel better with Oliver Stone
till I almost smacked him -
seemed right that night and
I don't know what takes hold out there in the Desert cold
These guys think they must
Try and just get over on us

and I was ridin' by
ridin' along side
for a while till you lost me
and I was ridin' by
ridin' along till you lost me
till you lost me in The Rear View
you lost me I said


way up North I took my day
all in all was a pretty nice
day and I put the Hood right back where
You could taste heaven perfectly
Feel out the summer breeze
didn't know when we'd be back
And I I don't
didn't think
We'd end up like like this

 

 

:: Liquid Diamonds ::

From The Choirgirl Hotel

 

surrender then start your engines
you'll know quite soon what my mistake was
for those on horse back or dog sled
you turn at the bend in the road
I hear she still grants forgiveness
although I willingly forgot her
the offering is molasses and you say
I guess I'm an underwater thing so I
guess I can´t take it personally
I guess I'm an underwater thing I´m
liquid running
there's a sea secret in me
it's plain to see it is rising
but I must be flowing liquid diamonds
calling for my soul
at the corners of the world
I know she's playing poker with the rest of the stragglers calling for my soul at the corners of the world I know she´s playing poker and if your friends don't come back to you and you know this is madness a lilac mess in your prom dress and you say I guess I'm an underwater thing

:: The Waitress ::

Under The Pink / To Venus And Back Still Orbiting live


So I want to kill this waitress
She's worked her a year longer than I
If I did it fast you know that's an act of kindness
 

But I believe in peace
I believe in peace, bitch
I believe in peace
 

I want to kill this waitress
I can't believe this violence in mind
And is her power all in her club sandwich
 

I want to kill this killing wish
They're too many stars and not enough sky
Boys all think she's living kindness
Ask a fellow waitress
Ask a fellow waitress

 

 

:: Hotel ::

From The Choirgirl Hotel

 

Met 'em in a Hotel, met 'em in a Hotel
Beneath ground
tell me that he's missing, tell me this is one for
Lollipop Gestapo
You were wild, where are you now
You were wild, where are you now
give me more give me more give me more
I have to learn to let you crash down
I have to learn to let you crash down
I have to learn to let you crash
Met 'em in a Hotel, met 'em in a Hotel
you say he's the biggest thing
there'll be this year
I guess that what I'm seeking
I guess that what I'm seeking
isn't here
Met him in a Hotel, met him in a guess world
guessed anyone but you
You were wild, where are you now
You were wild, where are you now
give me more give me more give me more
I have to learn to let you crash down
where are the velvets where are the velvets where are the velvets
when you're coming down
H o t e l
you were wild, where are you now
you were wild , where are you now
King Solomon's Mines
Exit 75
I'm still alive I'm still alive I'm still alive

 

:: Little Earthquakes :: 

             Little Earthquakes                

Yellow bird flying gets shot in the wing
Good year for hunters and Christmas parties
and I hate, and I hate, and I hate
and I hate elevator music
The way we fight
The way I'm left here silent

Oh these little earthquakes
Here we go again
These little earthquakes
Doesn't take much to rip us into pieces

We danced in graveyards with vampires till dawn
We laughed in the faces of king never afraid to burn
and I hate, and I hate, and I hate
and I hate disintegration
Watching us wither
Black winged roses that safely changed their COLOR

I can't reach you
I can't reach you

Give me life
Give me pain
Give me myself again
 

:: Cornflake Girl ::

Under The Pink

Never was a cornflake girl
thought that was a good solution
hangin with the raisin girls
she's gone to the other side
givin us a yo heave ho
things are getting kind of gross
and I go at sleepy time
this is not really happening
you bet your life it is

Peel out the watchword just peel out the watchword

She knows what's going on
seems we got a cheaper feel now
all the sweeteaze are gone
gone to the other side
with my encyclopedia
they musta paid her a nice price
she's puttin on her string bean love
this is not really happening
you bet your life it is

Rabbit where'd you put the keys girl
and the man with the golden gun
thinks he knows so much
thinks he knows so much
Rabbit where'd you put the keys girl

 

:: Hey Jupiter ::

Boys For Pele

no one's picking up the phone
guess it's me and me
and this little masochist
she's ready to confess
all the things that I never thought
that she could feel and

hey Jupiter
nothings been the same
so are you gay
are you blue
thought we both could use a friend to run to
and I thought I wouldn't have to be
with you something new

sometimes I breathe you in
and I know you know
and sometimes you take a swim
found your writing on my wall
if my hearts soaking wet
Boy your boots can leave a mess

thought I knew myself so well
all the dolls I had
took my leather off the shelf
your apocalypse was fab
for a girl who couldn't choose between
the shower or the bath

and I thought I wouldn't have to be
with you, a magazine
