Girl - Tori Amos

From in the shadow she calls

And in the shadow she finds a way

Finds a way

And in the shadow she crawls

Clutching her faded photograph

My image under her thumb

Yes, with a message from my heart

Yes, with a message from 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

Well I’m not seventeen

But I’ve cuts on my knees

Falling down as the winter

Takes one more cherry tree

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

Rushin’rivers, thread so thin, limitation

Dreams with the flying pigs, turbin blue and the drugstores too

Safe in their coats and 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

Everybody else’s girl

Maybe one day she’ll be her own
