Breadcrumbs lost under the snow...

(click to watch me swim)
Mother by Tori Amos

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 he’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 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 the car is here
Maybe, maybe he will leave the light on
For the, for the dancing girl
He’s gonna change my name
Maybe he’ll leave the light on
Just in case I like the dancing
I can remember where I come from
