Tori Amos - Mother lyrics

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

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, 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

Black 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 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

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 on

Just in case I like the dancing

I can remember where I come, come from

Mother, mother, mother
