Tori Amos – Me And A Gun

Tori Amos – Me And A Gun

5am

Friday morning

Thursday night

Far from sleep

I’m still up and driving

Can’t go home

obviously

So I’ll just change direction

Cause they’ll soon konw where I live

And I wanna live

Got a full tank and some chips

It was me and a gun

And a man on my back

And I sang “holy holy” as he buttoned down his pants

You can laugh

It’s kind of funny things you think

at times like these

Like I haven’t seen Barbados

So I must get out of this

Yes I wore a slinky red thing

Does that mean I should spread

For you, your friends your father, Mr. Ed

Me and a gun

and a man

On my back

But I haven’t seen Barbados

So I must get out of this

Yes I wore a slinky red thing

Does that mean I should spread

For you, your friends your father, Mr. Ed

And I know what this means

Me and Jesus a few years back

Used to hang and he said

“It’s your choice babe just remember

I don’t think you’ll be back in 3 days time

So you choose well”

Tell me what’s right

Is it my right to be on my stomach

of Fred’s Seville

Me and a gun

and a man

On my back

But I haven’t seen Barbados

So I must get out of this

And do you know Carolina

Where the biscuits are soft and sweet

These things go through you head

When there’s a man on your back

And you’re pushed flat on your stomach

It’s not a classic cadillac

Me and a gun

and a man

On my back

But I haven’t seen Barbados

So I must get out of this
