God: Welcome to the end of your life. What is your name?
Tori: My name is Tori Amos.
God: And how do you describe yourself?
Tori: I guess I describe myself as Atilla the Honey.
God: You are about to begin your last 24 hours on the
planet Earth. Is there anything you'd like to confess?
Tori: No way. I'm not going for that one.
God: Where will you spend the last day of your life?
Tori: Near some pasta 'case it's like the best, it's
the most yummiest thing. I don't care where I am as
long as there's a great fat Italian cook close by.
God: Who will you have sex with?
Tori: The wolf. It's a really sexy man. A really
really sexy man.
God: What music will you listen to?
Tori: Zeppelin- because it's passionate to me and
it goes beyond fears- that music.
God: What film will you watch?
Tori: I'll watch the Jungle Book. I love the Jungle Book.
God: What vices will you indulge in?
Tori: The peace pipe and some pasta with cream sauce
in it because normally I can't have any dairy when
I'm on the road, so I'm gonna have like loads of
fattening stuff, and it won't get on my thighs
because I'm not gonna have a body anymore so it
doesn't matter.
God: How would you like to die?
Tori: Like the sunset.
God: How would you like your body disposed of?
Tori: I wanna be burned- definitely burned, like the witches.
God: What do you expect the after-life to be like?
Tori: A lot like here, to be honest. I don't think
there's gonna be a huge difference. It's not like
all-of-a-sudden I'm gonna have an ice-cream sundae with
Jesus or anything. I don't really know what we'd talk
about yet. I think the after-life is a continuation of
lessons, so I don't really think that there would be a
huge change, maybe the way that I saw this place could
change, looking at it from a different perspective.
God: How will you sell yourself to Saint Peter?
Tori: Hopefully I will have been able to have run into
Mary Magdalene before I run into Peter, and she knows all
the dirt on Peter.

All the time clocks are marching soldiers' sobs.
I say "Let's go, let's go, let's go to this magic wonder-show."
And I'm walking in, crawling in, certain all I'm seein',
Hi hi hi hi, hi hi, I'm seein'.
Blue skies are over my head.
I said, blue skies (are over my head) overhead.

Cooling
Maybe I didn't like hear
But I still can't believe Speed Racer is dead
So then I thought I'd make some plans
But fire thought she'd really rather be water instead
And Peggy got a message for me, from Jesus
And I heard every word that you have said
And I know I have been
Driven like the snow
But this is cooling
Faster then I can
This is cooling
Faster then I
But do I hate what she is
Do I want to be her
And don't we love something fresh
Anything new, virgin
Woman, you got too many brambles
Hiding under these bushes
Woman, you got too many brambles
But I always liked a good storm
Always good for a storm
So then Love walked up to like
I know that you don't like me much/let's go for a ride
Said I know that she don't like me much
Let's go for a ride
This ocean is wrapped around that pineapple tree
And is your place in heaven
worth giving up these kisses
these kisses

And Peggy got a message for me, from Jesus
And I've heard every word
That you have said
And I know I've been
Driven like the snow
But this is cooling
Faster than I can, hey
Faster than I can
Cooling
This is cooling
This is cooling
Daisy Dead Petals
Daisy Dead Petals that is her name
She's in a phone booth phase so
Underneath the shade of a peppermint tray
She can turn it on with a heal on
She just rides into town
Knowing what they'll say
Knowing they're around the corner
Got a crack in
Got a crack in some strange places
Daisy Dead Petals that is her name
So maybe she tastes like a hamburger maid well
These dead petals honey brought me here
She said "these dead petals honey brought me here"
Dancing on a dime hearing mother cry
Maybe she's around the corner
Got a crack in got a crack in some strange places
On my back with on my back with some dirty dishes
Falling down falling down all over the river
Falling down, falling down, falling down
Wish what I was feeling could
Go on like this forever
Falling down, falling down, falling down
And since we're down might as well stay
Might as well fry some eggs
And wave to the shade of the peppermint tray
She's a new friend not a skeleton to ride into town
Knowing what they'll say
Knowing she tastes like a hamburger maid, but
these dead petals honey brought me here
she said, "these dead petals honey brought me here"
Flying Dutchman
Hey kid I got a ride for you
They say your brain is a comic book tattoo
And you'll never be anything
What will you do with your life?
Oh, that's all you hear from noon to night
Take a trip on a rocket ship baby
Where the sea is the sky
I know the guy who runs the place
And he's out of sight
Flying Dutchman, are you out there?
Flying Dutchman, are you out there?
FLying Dutchman
Straight suits, they don't understand
She tried, that one with the alligator boots
But the other side drew her in
Heart falling fast when she left,
Even the milky way was dressed in black
Take a trip on a rocket ship baby
The sea is the sky
I know the guy who runs the place
And he's out of sight
Flying Dutchman, are you out there?
Flying Dutchman, are you out there?
Flying Dutchman
Cause they can't see what you're born to be
They can't see me
They can't be
What they can't believe
They can see what you see
They'll keep the boy spinning in their own little world
Tie him up so he won't say a word
They'll keep the boy spinning in their own little world
So afraid he'll be what they never were
Take a trip on a rocket ship baby
The sea is the sky
I know the guy who runs the place
And he's out of sight
Flying Dutchman, are you out there?
Flying Dutchman, are you out there?
Flying Dutchman
Cause they can't see
Cause they can't see
Cause they can't see
Are you still out there?
They can't see
Background: (they can't see, they can't think,
and you know you know
you know your mother hides you,
hides you head, hides you head,
so many jars [or 'joys'] you know
they'll never make him see)
Frog on my Toe
Poppa I know
There's a frog on my toe
Maybe I'll call him Jethro.
Maybe I'll grow up to be as wise and good as he,
and maybe you'll come back after you're long gone.
and Poppa I'm sure the worms have eaten you now
and Jethro's been on some Frenchy's plate long ago
and now I'm pretty sure that I listened to every word
cause I still hear you telling me still
"Slap them boys when they're naughty
make them crawl, make you haughty
make you strong little girl
paint them toes that reddish color
and you know one day you're gonna be bigger than a flea
you're gonna be bigger than that old poison ivy tree"
Now I'm pretty sure that I think you come and visit
and talk sometimes kind of like Gidget and
in funny little chants like an Indian Brave
you said we all grew fat when the white men came
but one day girl
you're gonna learn to make 'em crawl
make them grow tall but have the grace
to be a lady with disgrace
you fry them 'taters
and you make them with lady's hands and all
you're my poppy's baby
Graveyard
Hey, I said
Don't even let this go
And it's hey
to that old man
I'm coming in the graveyard
with my little tune
it's June
I said she's gone but I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm coming in the graveyard to
sing you to sleep
now
Here in my Head
In my head I found you there
And running around and following me
But you don't dare
But I find that I have, now, more
Than I ever wanted to
So maybe Thomas Jefferson wasn't born
In your backyard like you have said and
Maybe i'm just the horizon you run to
When she has left you
There you are, here in my head and
Running around and calling me
"Come back, I'll show you the roses
and brush off the snow
and open their petals again and again."
And you know that apple-green ice
cream can melt in your hands
I can't
So I held your hand at the fair
And even forgot what time it was
And even Thomas Jefferson wasn't born
In your backyard like you have said and
Maybe i'm just the horizon you run to
When she has left you
And me here alone on the floor
You're counting my feathers as the bells toll
You see the bow and the belt
and the girls from the South
All favorites of mine
You know them all well
And spring brings fresh little puddles
that makes it all clear makes it all
Do you know what this is doing to me
Here
Here
Here
Here
Here in my head
Honey
A little dust never stopped me none
He liked my shoes I kept them on
Sometimes I can hold my tongue sometimes not,
when you just skip-to-loo my darlin'.
And you know what you're doing so don't even
You're just too used to my honey now
You're just too used to my honey
And I think I could leave your world
If she was the better girl
So when we died I tried to bribe the undertaker
'Cause I'm not sure what you're doin' or the reasons
You're just too used to my honey now
You're just too used to my honey
don't bother coming down
I made a friend of the western sky
Don't bother coming down
You always liked your babies tight
Turn back one last time
Love to watch those cowboys ride
But cowboys know cowgirls ride on the indian side
And you know what you're doin' so don't even
You're just too used to my honey now
You're just too used to my honey
Humpty Dumpty
Humpty Dumpty sat on the wall
Humpty Dumpty had a great big fall
And all the king's horses
And all the king's men
Couldn't put Humpty together again
Humpty Dumpty and Betty Louise
Stole a Sony and some Cammembert cheese
And she said, "Humpty baby, take me,
ooh yeah, take me to the river,
because I like the way it runs,
take me to the river, you know
I like the way it runs, yeah"
Oh, everything's going my way, said,
Maybe it's my la-lucky day, I said,
"Anything you want I can give"
she said, "I want to take your picture,
mm, just for me" she said
"Up there, baby, get on the wall babe"
Humpty Dumpty sat on the wall,
and looked at her as he was falling
and all the king's horses
and all the king's men
couldn't put Humpty together again
Hey, Betty Louise
Hey, Betty Louise
she said, "I like custard in the summer, honey"
oh, what it takes to be queen
oh, what it takes to be queen
oh, what it takes to be
Mary
Everybody wants something from you
Everybody want a piece of Mary
Lush valley all dressed in green
Just ripe for the picking
God I want to get you out of here
You can ride in a pink Mustang
When I think of what we've done to you
Mary can you hear me
Growing up isn't always fun
They tore your dress and stole your ribbons
They see you cry
they lick their lips
Well butterflies don't belong in nets
Mary can you hear me
Mary you're bleeding
Mary don't be afraid
We're just waking up
And I hear help is on the way
Mary can you hear me
Mary like Jimmy said
Mary don't be afraid
'Cause even the wind
Even the wind cries your name"
Everybody wants you sweetheart
Everybody got a dream of glory
Las Vegas got a pinup girl
They got her armed as they buy and sell her
Rivers of milk running dry
Can't you hear the dolphins crying
What'll we do when our babies scream
Fill their mouths with some acid rain
Mary, can you hear me
Mary, you're bleeding
Mary, don't be afraid
We're just waking up
And I hear help is on the way
Mary, can you hear me
Mary, like Jimmy said
Mary, don't be afraid
'Cause even the wind
Even the wind cries your name
Oh butterflies don't belong in nets
Mary, can you hear me
Mary, you're bleeding
Mary, don't be afraid
We're just waking up
And I hear help is on the way
Mary, can you hear me
Mary, like Jimmy said
'Cause even the wind
Even the wind cries your name
Even the wind cries your name
Cries your name
Cries your name
Cries your name
Cries your name
Merman
Go to bed, the priests are dead
Now no one can call you bad
Go to bed, the priests are dead
Finally you're in Peppermint Land
He's a merman
He doesn't need your voice
He's a merman
Go to bed, dream instead
And you will find him
He's a merman eternally
Doesn't need
something you're not willing to give
He's a merman
Doesn't need your voice
to cross his lands of ice
Go to bed, the priests are dead
Now no one can call you bad
Go to bed, the priests are dead
Finally you found him - lala la
Who could ever say
you're not simply wonderful?
Who could ever harm you?
Sleep now
You're my little girl
Go to bed, the priests are dead
And go singin' low again
Go to bed, past the apple orchard
And you'll feel nice
Two can play, I said, two can play
Never Seen Blue
Some boy you are
To take me by the hand
Through an elevator
Got a little red line
That tells you boy
Where the razor's been
And you said girl if you think
You can change that violator
You'll finally be that woman
Yes, finally be that woman that's been frozen
In that pretty silver girl
And I've never seen blue
Like the blues he drives
In and around and through me again
I said I never seen eyes
Like the blues he drives
In and around and through me again
Through me again
Some boy you are are
To wear my color red
To wear it very proudly
Wear it like a lady
Knows how to cross her legs
Where the birdie's been
I never seen blue
Like the blues he drives
In and around and through me again
I've never seen eyes
Like the blues he drives
In and around and through me again
Through me again
Through me again
Said now that I am
Say goodbye to the rosewood
Said
Ode to the Banana King (Part One)
Turning back ten thousand years
It's all a blur where the taxis go
Monster man a willing friend
Lucy serves the melon cold
Violent and delicious souls
Four red trucks dressed illegally
Mother knows how the bugle blows
Gonna get caught gonna get caught
Gonna get caught in her rug
This is not a conclusion
No revolution
Just a little confusion
On where your head has been
Boats made out of paper float
Dreams made up for the Banana King, darling
Crumbs you have lapped freely of
Devious we have all been
Violent and delicious souls
Violent and delicious souls
This is not a conclusion
No revolution
Just a little confusion
On where your head has been
Purple People (Christmas in Space)
Well hey do you do Judo when they surround you
A little mental Yoga will they disappear
It's grim but never dubious as motives go
No matter what it takes she promises a show
Thunder wishes it could be the show
Wishes it could be as loved as she can be
These gifts are here for her, for you, for me
I watch me be this other thing and never know
If I'm marooned on where the purple people go
Then lilly white matricide from vicious words
It doesn't leave a scratch so therefore no one's hurt
Thunder wishes it could be the show
Wishes it could be as loved as she can be
These gifts are here for her, for you, for me
And don't you know the nurses make it clear
Just when you escape you have yourself to fear
A restaurant that never has to close
Breakfast every hour it could save the world
So hey do you do judo in your finery
An angel's face is tricky to wear constantly
Thunder wishes it could be the show
Wishes it could be as loved as she can be
These gifts are here for her, for you for me
Ah la, ah ha, for her for her, mm hmm

with a demon and an Englishman
I'm my mother
I'm my son
nobody else

nobody else
is slipping the blade in the marmalade
but all the angels
and all the wizards,
black and white,

touching hands before our eyes
and I can even see sweet Marianne
Sister Janet,

from the women clothed with the sun

with your perfect wings
A wing can cover all sorts of things

Little boys
On the back hand swings.
Know a vicar who coughs a lot
Thought we told some little sweet stories
In the parking lot
They say the girl lost her sway
They say the girl lost her sway
That day
God, I'd like to take him for a long way
'Cause maybe I
Then I just cry a little tear
Near to that sleepy safe place
And I'm gonna take it by myself
If I've got to go
Don't let you, let you know
Where she goes to with those meows and her fear
The girl lost her sway
They say the girl lost her sway
That day
Teach me about them old old words
Big brother man
In an elevator where
Somebody can get out without sound
Say that girl lost her sway
Just watch it
Just watch it
Slip through my hands, boy
Watch it go
What you know, hey, yes
Just see
Cause she still can sway
Song for Eric
I wait all day for my sailor
and sometimes he comes
See you over hill and dale
Riding on the wind I see
You know me, you know me
Like the nightingale
Oh fair maiden, I see you standing there
Oh will you hold me for just a fair time
The tune is playing in the fair night
I see you in my dreams
Fair boy, your eyes haunt me
Sugar
Don't say the morning's come
Don't say it's up to me
If I could take twenty five
Minutes out of the record books
Sugar, bring me sugar

And hammers he used one on me
Cold war with little boys
Get in with a bubble gum trade
Sugar, he brings me sugar
I know the robins bring,
Bring me many things but

Sweet Dreams
Lie, lie, lies, ev'rywhere, said the father to the son
Your peppermint breath gonna choke 'em to death
Daddy watch your little black sheep run
He got the kni-kni-knives in his back every time he opens up
You say, "he gotta be strong if he wanna be a man"
Mister I don't know how you can have
Sweet dreams
Sweet dreams
Land, land of liberty
We're run by a constipated man
When you live in the past
Wou refuse to see
When your daughter come home
Nine months pregnant
With five billion points of light
Gonna shine em on the face of your friends
They got the earth in a sling
They got the world on her knees
They even got your zipper between their teeth
Sweet dreams
Sweet dreams
You say you say you say you have 'em
I say that you're a liar
Sweet dreams
Sweet dreams
Go on, go on, go on and dream
Your house is on fire
Come along now
Well, well, summer wind been catching up with me
"Elephant mind, missy you don't have

I got a hazy lazy Susan
Takin' turns all over my dreams
I got lizards and snakes runnin' through my body
Funny how they all have my face
Sweet dreams
Sweet dreams
Sweet dreams
Sweet dreams
Take to the Sky
This house is like Russia, with eyes cold and grey
you got me moving in a circle, I died my hair red today
I just want a little passion to hold me in the dark
I know I got some magic, buried, buried deep in my heart
but my priest says you ain't saving no souls
my father says you ain't makin' any money
my doctor says you just took it to the limit
and here I stand with this a sword in my hand
You can say it one more time what you don't like
Let me hear it one more time
Then have a seat while I take to the sky
my heart is like the ocean it gets in the way
so close to touching freedom
that I hear the guards call my name
and my priest says you ain't saving no souls
my father says you ain't makin' any money
my doctors says you just took it to the limit
and here I stand with this a sword in my hand
You can say it one more time what you don't like
Let me hear it one more time
Then have a seat while I take to the sky
if you don't like me just a little, well, why do you hand around
if you don't like me just a little why do you take it
this house is like Russia
You can say it one more time what you don't like
Let me hear it one more time
Then have a seat while I take to the sky
The Happy Worker
Marching to the beat of a hot roof over me
Hey, ho, here we go, we're off to work again
Bells are ringing, we are singing,
Joyous in our industry
I love my job
he loves his job
pull that lever
start the engine
pump the water
build the pressure
push the piston
press the button
pump the water
build the pressure
push the piston
press the button
It's the perfect job
Happy workers
Happy workers
Happy workers
The Pool
One with her hands

"no one will know it --

Toodles Mr. Jim
Toodles Mr Jim
you cherry picker
toodles I say, so long
hear that your grave's a little warm you stickler
sing 'em all your happy song

today Sunday
by your grave.
I say toodles Mr Jim
you cherry picker
taught me so well
how to spell those red in
and
and
hey
you know she deserved that nose
splattered and swattered blood in my hands
not a nice day for your little girl
but you came to my aid instead.
Now, now it's toodles Mr Jim
you cherry picker
build that ladder well

when they've got a spell.
Toodles Mr Jim
you are my sweet favourite neighbor of them all
of them

I don't care
cause I'm with you
still
Spoken:
That was Toodles Mr Jim.
Mr Jim died two weeks ago and he taught me how to pick cherries
and I punched his daughter in the nose because she was mean.
Mr Jim was good.
Upside Down
God I love to turn my little blue world upside down
God I love to turn my little blue world upside down
Inside my head the noise
Chatter chatter chatter chatter chatter
You see i'm afraid i'll always be
Still comin' out of my mother upside down
Don't you love to turn this little blue girl upside down?
Oh, I know you love to turn this little blue girl baby upside down
But my heart it says you've been
Shatter shatter shatter shatter shattered
Snd I know you're still a boy
Still comin' out of your mother
Sut when you gonna stand on your own
I say the world is sick
You say, "Tell me what that makes us darlin'."
You see you always find my faults
Faster than you find your own
You say the world is getting rid of her demons
I say, "Baby what have you been smokin'?"
Well I dreamed I dreamed I dreamed
Walking With You
Every night I sit alone, waiting to see you at my door.
Arriving at the usual time, waiting to share your love with mine.
Well, I've waited a lifetime just to find you.
But you have to be leaving. Success is your seeking.
Then in a few months, you can come home to me.
It's the job that you need.
It's the school that you have to complete.
You just have to go on with your deeds.
But I'll be waiting right here, as I am,
But, before you leave... Make me a promise, I'll need you to keep-
Remember me while you're away. Think of me when you're alone.
In everything that I do, I do it in twos,
'Cause I'll always be walking with you.
Remember me while you're away. Think of me when you're alone.
In everything that I do, I do it in twos,
'Cause I'll always be walking with you.
Side by side. Always be walking with you. In my mind.
Always be walking, always be walking with you...
Facing another empty evening, lying alone here, in my bed.
You keep my mind from my job, but you lead my life with love.
You hold my chin up high. Your love shines through my eyes.
You're soul works by my side, keeping this body alive.
As I run to catch the bus, I get a strange look or two,
'Cause instead of just buyin' a ticket for me,
I also buy a ticket for you.
Now, some people say I'm crazy, but it's the only way not to feel blue.
'Cause in everything that I do, I do it in twos,
'Cause I'll always be walking...
You... aha... You... aha... You... aha...
I'll always be... Always be... Always be... Always be...
I'll always be walking with you...
Remember me while you're away. Think of me when you're alone.
In everything that I do, I do it in twos,
'Cause I'll always be walking with you.
Side by side. Always be walking with you. In my mind.
Always be walking, always be walking...
With you... You... aha... You...
Whoomp There it is
Whoomp there it is, there she goes again
In the bathroom with her shoes on
Whoomp there it is with Kevin and Beene
A cookie in the oven and a sherry in my scene
I said, whoomp there it is, I'll tell you what she knows
I'm coming back to lay in the mud
It's a bit shaky these days you know,
but they always knew how to rock and roll
I said, whoomp there it is, I better end this song
I don't know what's coming if my lyrics go on
I said, it's over now, uh huh
