Tori Amos lyrics
Ribbons Undone
She's a girl
rising from a shell
running to Spring
It is her time it is her time
Watch her run with Ribbons undone
she's a rose in a Lily's cloak
she can hide her charms
Is it her right there will be time
to chase the sun with Ribbons undone
she runs like a fire does
just picking up daises
Comes in for a landing
a pure flash of lightening
Past alice blue blossoms
you follow her laughter
And then she'll surprise you
arms filled with lavender
Yes, my little pony is growing up fast
she corrects me and says
"you mean a thoroughbred"
A look in her eye says the Battle's beginning
From school she comes home and cries
I don't want to grow up Mom at least not tonight
you're a girl
Rising from a shell
Running through Spring
with Summer's hand in reach now
It is your time It is your time
so just run with Ribbons undone
It is your time yes my angel
It is your time
so just run with Ribbons undone
run run darlin'
Ribbons undone
improvs
On February 4, 1996, Tori performed Doughnut Song on Modern Rock Live in New York City. She did an improvised intro to the song that had lyrics similar to some in Ribbons Undone, which was released nine years later.

She’s just a pony
growing up fast
she’s just a pony
thought she was a thoroughbred
She’s just a pony
growing up fast
well, she’s just a pony, they say
thought she was a thoroughbred...
