Tori Amos Crucify

Tekst piosenki

[Verse 1]
Every finger in the room
Is pointing at me
I wanna spit in their faces
Then I get afraid of what that could bring
I got a bowling ball in my stomach
I got a desert in my mouth
Figures that my courage would choose to sell out now

[Pre-Chorus 1]
I’ve been looking for a savior in these dirty streets
Looking for a savior beneath these dirty sheets
I’ve been raising up my hands
Drive another nail in
Just what God needs
One more victim

[Chorus]
Why do we
Crucify ourselves
Every day
I crucify myself
Nothing I do is good enough for you
Crucify myself
Every day
I crucify myself
And my heart is sick of being
I said my heart is sick of being in
Chains, oh oh
Chains, oh oh

[Verse 2]
Got a kick for a dog
Beggin’ for love
I gotta have my suffering
So that I can have my cross
I know a cat named Easter
He says, „Will you ever learn?
You’re just an empty cage girl if you kill the bird”

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I’ve been looking for a savior in these dirty streets
Looking for a savior beneath these dirty sheets
I’ve been raising up my hands
Drive another nail in
Got enough guilt to start
My own religion

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
Please be
Save me
I cry

[Pre-Chorus 3]
Looking for a savior in these dirty streets
Looking for a savior beneath these dirty sheets
I’ve been raising up my hands
Drive another nail in
Where are those angels
When you need them

[Chorus]

Why do we crucify ourselves?
Why do we crucify ourselves?
