Mike brought me in the new Tori B-sides to listen to today. A mistake to be sure, I want to ignore all the phone calls ringing into my office. Inspired, I'm scribbling bad poetry on my color coded notecards again ... I'm working one on orange right now. Perhaps I'll share later? For now I leave you with lyrics.
Ruby through the Looking-Glass
feel a little hand turning inside me
don't you think she feels us fighting
strike me at the root
I won't let you
put her through
what you put me through
when i said ---- I wanted it all,
doesn't every woman want it all ...
running through the house screaming
girl unstrung you could always play that one
Baptized of fire and
every beat in the bar
Hymns for her
feel her kick me from the inside
when I said ---- I wanted it all,
doesn't every woman want it all ...
as a man ---- do you find,
doesn't every boy smoke to cry ...
you could almost drown her waterfall
you could almost drown my waterfall
through the Looking-Glass, Ruby sees
things in you
things in me
she won't wanna be
just a little light turning the key
at the root, what I missed ...
she will carry
when I said ---- I wanted it all,
doesn't every woman want it all ...
as a man ---- do you find,
doesn't every boy smoke to cry ...
feel a little hand
turning
turning
Ruby
~ Tori Amos
