Tori Amos - Girl lyrics

From in the shadow

She calls

And in the shadow

She finds a way

And in the shadow

She crawls

Clutching her faded photograph

My image under her thumb

Yes with a message for my heart

She's been everybody else's girl

Maybe one day she'll be her own

Everybody else's girl

Maybe one day she'll be her own

And in the doorway

They stay and laugh

As violins fill with water

Screams from the bluebells

Can't make them go away

We'll I'm not seventeen

But I've cuts on my knees

Falling down

As the winter takes one more cherry tree

Rushin' rivers thread so thin limitation

Dreams with the flying pigs turbid blue

And the drugstores too safe

In their coats

Anda in their do's

Yeah smother in our hearts

A pillow to my dots

One day maybe

One day

One day she'll be her own

And in the mist

There she rides

And castles are burning in my heart

And as I twist I hold tight

And I ride to work every morning

Wondering why

"Sit in the chair and be good now" And become all that they told you

The white coats enter her room

And I'm callin' my baby

Callin' my baby

Callin' my baby

Callin' everybody else's girl

Maybe one day she'll be her own
