Tori Amos lyrics

Pancake

I'm not sure who's fooling who here
as I'm watching your decay
We both know you could deflate
a 7 hurricane

Seems like you and your tribe
decided you'd rewrite the law
Segregate the mind
From Body, from Soul

You give me yours
I'll give you mine
cause I can look your God
right in the eye
You give me yours
I'll give you mine
You used to look my God
right in the eye

I believe in defending
in what we once
stood for
It seems in vogue
to be a closet
misogynist homophobe
a change of course in
Our direction
a dash of truth
spread thinly
Like a flag
On a popstar
On a Benzodiazapene

You give me yours
I'll give you mine
cause I can look your God
right in the eye
You give me yours
I'll give you mine
You used to look my God
right in the eye

Oh Zion please
remove your glove
and dispel every
trace
of His spoken word
That has lodged
In my vortex

I'm not sure who's fooling who here
as I'm watching our decay
We both know you could deflate
a 7 hurricane

You could have spared
her - oh but no
Messiahs need
people dying in their
Name

You could have spared
her - oh but no
Messiahs need
people dying in their
Name

You say "I ordered you a
pancake"
You say "I ordered you a
pancake"



Additional lyrics from a demo recording

You tear through them fields of cotton
the impressionable ones
I believe that you once did
so did she, she was so young

You turn the man against the land
You turn the woman against her own
You are power, you are ambition
You like 'em blonde

Alternate bridge from concerts in 2002 and 2003

gotta get down to it
soldiers are gunning us down
should have been gone long ago
what if you know her and
found her dead on the ground
how can you run, how can you run when you know it
gotta get down to it
soldiers are gunning us down
should have been gone long ago
what if you know her and
found her dead on the ground
how can you, how can you run when you know
