Tori Amos lyrics
Cornflake Girl
Never was a cornflake girl
Thought that was a good solution
Hangin’ with the raisin girls
She’s gone to the other side
Givin’ us a yo heave ho
Things are getting kind of gross
and I go at sleepy time
This is not really happening
You bet your life it is
You bet your life it is
honey, you bet your life, it's a
Peel out the watchword
Just peel out the watchword
She knows what’s goin’ on
Seems we got a cheaper feel now
All the sweeteaze are gone
gone to the other side
with my encyclopedia
they musta paid her a nice price
She’s puttin’ on her string bean love
This is not really happening
You bet your life it is
You bet your life it is
honey, you bet your life, it's a
Peel out the watchword
Just peel out the watchword
Never was a cornflake girl
Thought that was a good solution
Rabbit where’d you put the keys girl
And the man with the golden gun
thinks he knows so much
thinks he knows so much, yeah
and the man with the golden gun
thinks he knows so much
thinks he knows so much, yeah
Rabbit where’d you put the keys girl
Additional lyrics from the 1996 Dew Drop Inn tour
November 2, 1996:
rabbit, where'd you put the keys, girl
said, rabbit, don't give, don't slip
don't slip back, don't
slipping back, yes
oh my darling believe me
I know that you're with me
and I know you're with me, and I know
oh my darling, I know that you're with me
so where'd you put the keys
where'd you put the keys, girl
[and the man with the golden gun...]
rabbit, where'd you put the keys, girl
said, rabbit, don't give, don't give
don't push back
don't push on my baby, say
oh my darling believe me
I know that you hear me
and I know that you know
what I am saying
and I know, darling, I know that you're with me
so where'd you put the keys, girl
solo intros from the Plugged 1998 tour
September 13, 1998:
so good, so good
so good, girl
that thing she should
be around when I’m
going down
she says, to catch me
to push me, more like it
she would
kind of girl
that kills her husband
and she swears she won’t
and you bet your life it is
you bet your life she is
and you’re sure
she’s gonna change
you swear to Christ she will
swear on your life she will
but she shits you
again and again...
September 18, 1998:
He say you do
and you believe in her, too
and you said she's there
in every kind of weather, yes
and you bet your life she will
be there for you, she will
and you try to see through the veil
her eyes are hiding from
far away from
but you stay 'cause
you must prevail
you bet your life she won't
you swear to Christ she won't
cut you, cut you
out, yes
you swear your life she won't
open wounds, she won't
but it's here
and she's there...
October 4, 1998:
Yeah, she can come
and she can come
and she swears many things
and I try to believe
you'll bet your life she does
swear to Christ she does
and she uses
that smile that works so well
she tells me it won't go again
it won't happen again
and that smile
god, she does it so well...
Amplified lyrics from Tales of a Librarian
(Overlapping vocal during "and the man with the golden gun" bridge)
don't close this door
I know it's so easy
to close this door
I know it's so easy
don't close this door
I know it's so easy
to close this door
I know it's so easy
