Tori Amos lyrics
Father Lucifer
Father Lucifer
you never looked so sane
you always did prefer the drizzle to the rain
tell me that you're still in love with that Milkmaid
how're the Lizzies
how's your Jesus Christ been hanging
nothing’s gonna stop me from floating
nothing’s gonna stop me from floating
he says he reckons I'm a watercolour stain
he says I run and then I run from him
and then I run
he didn't see me watching
from the aeroplane
he wiped a tear
and then he threw away our appleseed
nothing’s gonna stop me from floating
nothing’s gonna stop me from floating
everyday's my wedding day
though baby's still in his comatose state
I'll die my own Easter eggs
just don't go yet, just don’t go
and Beenie lost the sunset but that's OK | maybe she’s hiding in a hot dog
does Joe bring flowers to Marilyn's grave | got a pig hiding in a truffle
and girls that eat pizza and never gain weight | wearing those purple garters
never gain weight never gain weight | and girl I got a condo in Hoboken
Father Lucifer you never looked so sane
you always did prefer the drizzle to the rain
tell me that you're still in love with that Milkmaid
how're the Lizzies
how's your Jesus Christ been hanging
Additional lyrics from live performances
1996:
go away world
only glass
you're only glass
run away, turn away
run away, turn away
run away
you never looked so sane
VH1 Storytellers 1998:
And if you want
I'm telling you
you will see through it all
the lies are all behind me now
and if you want
something from her, well
Steve McQueen, I do believe
he keeps listening
and if you call
I'm telling you
who will see through it all
when you were a young boy
and if you want
something from her, well
I can't be her, but I can take
take you through a door
Hard Rock Live 1999:
And if you call
I'm telling you
you will see through it all
the lies are all behind me now
and if you want
something from her, well
Steve McQueen, I do believe
he keeps listening
and if you want
I'll take you back
to, to '84
when you were a young boy
and if you want
something from her, well
I can't be her
but I can take
take you through a door
2002 and 2003:
Go away girls
bring good laughs
Steve McQueen
always takes him back
to a place where he saves
pictures of pictures of her face
Go away girls
go too fast
Steve McQueen plays
it takes him back to a place
where he has pictures of
pictures of pictures of that day
Go away girls
they go fast
Steve McQueen
always takes him back
to a place
where he has to bring her back
