Tori Amos - Precious Things
from the album "Little Earthquakes"
from the album "To Venus And Back" (live)
from the "Crucify" single (live)
So I ran faster but it caught me here
Yes my loyalties turned like my ankle
In the seventh grade
Running after Billy, running after the rain
These precious things
Let them bleed, let them wash away
These precious things
Let them break their hold over me
He said you're really an ugly girl
But I like the way you play
And I died but I thanked him
Can you believe that sick sick
Holding on to his picture
Dressing up every day
I wanna smash the faces
Of those beautiful boys, those christian boys
So you can make me cum that doesn't make you Jesus
These precious things
Let them bleed, let them wash away
These precious things
Let them break their hold over me
I remember, yes in my peach party dress
No one dared, no one cared
To tell me where the pretty girls are, those demigods
With their nine-inch nails and little fascist panties tucked inside the heart
of every nice girl
These precious things
Let them bleed, let them wash away
These precious things
Let them break, let them wash away
These these, these precious things
Let them bleed now, let them wash away
These these, these precious things
Let them break their hold over me
Precious
