Crucify
By: Tori Amos

Every finger in the room is pointing at me
I wanna spit in their faces
Then I get afraid what that could bring
I've gotta bowling ball in my stomach
gotta desert in my mouth
Figures that my COURAGE would choose to sell out now

I've been looking for a savior in these dirty streets
Looking for a savoir in these dirty sheets
I've been raising up my hands, drive another nail in
Just what GOD needs, one more victim

Why do we crucify ourselves,
Every day, I crucify myself
And nothing I do is good enough for you
Crucify myself, every day
And my heart is sick of being, my HEART is sick of being in chains...

Got a kick for a dog, Beggin' for LOVE
I gotta have my sufferings so I can have my cross
Know a cat named Easter he says, will you ever learn?
Your just an empty cage girl if you kill the bird

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

Looking for a savoir in these dirty sheets
I've been raising up my hands, drive another nail in
Got enough GUILT to start my own religion

Why do we crucify ourselves,
Every day, I crucify myself
And nothing I do is good enough for you
Crucify myself, every day
And my heart is sick of being, my heart is sick of being in chains...

Please be, save me, I CRY
