tear in your hand
written and performed by tori amos
from the album Little Earthquakes

all the world just stopped now
so you say you don't wanna stay together anymore
let me take a deep breath, babe
if you need me
me and neil'll be hanging out with the dream king
neil said hi by the way
I don't believe you're leaving
'cause me and charles manson like the same ice cream
I think it's that girl
and I think there're pieces of me you've never seen
maybe she's just pieces of me you've never seen well

all the world is all I am
the black of the blackest ocean
and that tear in your hand
all the world is dangling, dangling
dangling for me darling
you don't know the power that you have
with that tear in your hand
tear in your hand

maybe I ain't used to maybes
smashing in a cold room
cutting my hands up every time I touch you
maybe, maybe it's time to wave goodbye now
time to wave goodbye now

caught a ride with the moon
I know, I know you well
well better than I used to
haze all clouded up my mind
in the daze of the why it could've never been
so you say and I say
you know you're full of wish
and your "baby baby baby babies"
I tell you there're pieces of me you've never seen
maybe she's just pieces of me you've never seen well

all the world is all I am
the black of the blackest ocean
and that tear in your hand
all the world is dangling, dangling
dangling for me darling
you don't know the power that you have
with that tear in your hand
tear in your hand
