Tori Amos - Crucify
from the album "Little Earthquakes"
from the "Crucify" single (live)
from the "Crucify" single (remix)
Every finger in the room was 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 every day
I crucify myself
Nothing I do is good enough for you
I crucify myself every day
I crucify myself
And my heart is sick of being in
I said my heart is sick of being in
Chains, oh
Chains, oh
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
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
I crucify myself every day
I crucify myself
And my heart is sick of being in
I said my heart is sick of being in
Chains, oh
Chains, oh
Please 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're those angels when you need them
Why do we crucify ourselves every day
I crucify myself
Nothing I do is good enough for you
I crucify myself every day
I crucify myself
And my heart is sick of being in
I said my heart is sick of being in
Chains, oh
Chains
Why do we
Chains
Crucify ourselves every day
Chains, oh yeah
These chains
Never going back again, oh
I crucify myself again, you know
Never going back again to crucify myself every day
