"Crucify", Tori Amos

Nope, I'm not sure either why this hasn't previously appeared in these pages.  It certainly is appropriate thematically...

"Where are those angels when we need them..."

  1. Crucify

    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 our now
    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
    And my heart is sick of being in chains

    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
    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
    Please be
    Save me
    I cry

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