Tori Amos - Putting The Damage On
from the album "Boys For Pele"

Glue stuck to my shoes
Does anyone know why you play with an orange rind
You say you packed my things and divided what was mine
You're off to the mountain top
I say her skinny legs could use sun

But now I'm wishing for my best impression
Of my best Angie Dickinson
But now I've got to worry
Cause boy you still look pretty
When you're putting the damage on, yes
When you're putting the damage on
Take it I, I, I

Don't make me scratch on you door
I never left you for a Banjo
I only just turned around for a poodle and a corvette

And my impression
Of my best Angie Dickinson
But now I've got to worry
Cause boy you still look pretty
When you're putting the damage on, yes
When you're putting the damage on
Take it I, I, I, I, I, I

I'm trying not to move
It's just your ghost passing through
I said I'm trying not to move
It's just your ghost passing through
It's just your ghost passing through
And now I'm quite sure

There's a light in your platoon
I never seen a light move
Like yours can do to me
So now I'm wishing

For my best impression
Of my best Angie Dickinson
But now I've got to worry
Cause boy you still look pretty to me
But I've got a place to go
I've got a ticket to your lateshow
And now I've got to worry cause even still you sure are pretty
When you're putting the damage on, yes
When you're putting the damage on
You're just so pretty
When you're putting the damage on
