Tori Amos Lyrics

Album: Crucify

Crucify Lyrics

Every finger in the room

 is pointing at me

 I wanna spit in their faces

 Then I get afraid of what that could bring

 I got a bowling ball in my stomach

 I got a desert in my mouth

 Figures that my courage would choose to sell our now

 I've been looking for a savior in these dirty streets

 looking for a savior beneath these dirty sheets

 I've been raising up my hands

 Drive another nail in

 Just what God needs

 One more victim

 

 [Chorus:]

 Why do we

 Crucify ourselves

 Every day

 I crucify myself

 Nothing I do is good enough for you

 Crucify myself

 Every day

 And my heart is sick of being in chains

 

 Got a kick for a dog

 Beggin' for Love

 I gotta have my suffering

 So that I can have my cross

 I know a cat named Easter

 He says will you ever learn

 You're just an empty cage girl

 If you kill the bird

 I've been looking for a savior in these dirty streets

 looking for a savior beneath these dirty sheets

 I've been raising up my hands

 Drive another nail in

 Got enough guilt to start

 my own religion

 Please be

 Save me

 I cry

 

 [Chorus:]

 Why do we

 Crucify ourselves

 Every day

 I crucify myself

 Nothing I do is good enough for you

 Crucify myself

 Every day

 And my heart is sick of being in chains
