Tori Amos - Girl
from the album "Little Earthquakes"
from the album "To Venus And Back" (live)
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
Hey
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
Everyone else's girl maybe one day she'll be her own
Everyone else's girl maybe one day she'll be her own, oh
Rushin' rivers thread so thin limitation
Everyone else's girl maybe one day she'll be her own, oh
Dreams with the flying pigs turbid blue and the drugstores too safe in
their
Coats anda in their do's yeah
Everyone else's girl maybe one day, maybe one day, one day she'll be her
own
Smother in our hearts a pillow to my dots
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"
Oh 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
Everybody else's girl maybe one day she'll be her own
Everybody else's girl maybe one day she'll be her own
