Tori Amos lyrics
Cruel
so don’t
give me respect don’t give me a piece of your preciousness
flaunt all she’s got in our old neighbourhood
I’m sure she’ll make a few friends
even the rain bows down let us pray as you cock-cock-cock your mane
no cigarettes only peeled HAVANAS for you
I can be cruel
I don’t know why
why can’t my ba.ll.oo.n stay up in a perfectly windy sky
I can be cruel I don’t know why
dance with the Sufis celebrate your top ten in the charts of pain
lover brother bogenvilla my vine twists around your need
even the rain is sharp like the day as you sh-sh-shock me sane
no cigarettes only peeled HAVANAS for you
I can be cruel
I don’t know why
why can’t my ba.ll.oo.n stay up in a perfectly windy sky
I can be cruel I don’t know why

you're better than them
wanna go
when you go
again, I say, go
deeper, deeper than you go
deeper than you can
deeper than you can go
deeper than you can
I said, you can
right in my eye
deeper, deeper than you go
you go deeper still
deeper, but still you go
when you said you can
I said, you can
when you try and
tear it out and tear it out
and tear it out and you go
deeper, deeper than you go
deeper than you can
deeper but still you can
deeper than you can
I said, you can
tear it out and tear it out
and tear it out again
hey, and you know, you know
you're gonna lie, boy
way here
I said here, yes
In Nashville, Tennessee, during the Plugged '98 tour, Tori spoke about this new bridge in the live version of Cruel. She said, "It's about when that dickhead is right there in front of you, and you look him in the eyes and you just go deeper than you can go... deeper than you can go."
