Mother

Tori Amos ( Little Earthquakes )

Go go go go now

Out of the nest, it’s time

Go go go now

Circus girl without a safety net

Here here now

Don’t cry

You raised your hand for the assignment

Tuck those ribbons under

Your helmet and be a good soldier

First my left foot then my right behind the other

Pantyhose running in the cold

Mother the car is here

Somebody leave the light on

Green limousine for the redhead

Dancing, dancing girl

And when I dance for him

Somebody leave the light on

Just in case I like the dancing

I can remember where I come from

I walked into your dream

And now I’ve forgotten

How to dream my own dream

You are the clever one aren’t you

Brides in veils

For you

We told you all of our secrets

All but one

And don’t you even try

The phone has been disconnected

Dripping with blood and with time and with your advice

Poison me against the moon

Mother the car is here

Somebody leave the light on

Blood chariot for the redhead

Dancing, dancing girl

He’s gonna change my name

Maybe you’ll leave the light on

Just in, just in case I like the dancing

I can remember where I come from

I escape into

Your escape into

Our very favorite fearscape

It’s across the sky

And across my heart

And I cross my legs

Oh my God

First my left foot then my right behind the other

Breadcrumbs lost under the snow

Mother

Mother the car is here

Here

Maybe, maybe you’ll leave the light on

Father, father, father

Dancing girl

He’s gonna change my name

Maybe you’ll leave the light

Just in I like the dancing

I can remember where I come, come from

Mother, mother, moth
