Tori Amos – Crucify

Tori Amos – Crucify

Every finger in the room

is 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 our 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

[Chorus:]

Why do we

Crucify ourselves

Every day

I crucify myself

Nothing I do is good enough for you

Crucify myself

Every day

And my heart is sick of being in chains

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

Please be

Save me

I cry

[Chorus:]

Why do we

Crucify ourselves

Every day

I crucify myself

Nothing I do is good enough for you

Crucify myself

Every day

And my heart is sick of being in chains
