Tori Amos - Crucify @ Montreux 1991

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

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

Why do we, crucify ourselves, every day?

I crucify myself and nothing I do is good enough for you

I crucify myself, every day

I crucify myself

My heart is sick of being

I said my heart is sick of being in chains, oh oh oh

Chains, oh oh oh

Got a kick for a dog, begging for love

I gotta have myself a ring 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

Why do we, crucify ourselves, every day?

I crucify myself and nothing I do is good enough for you

I crucify myself, oh every day

I crucify myself

My heart is sick of being

I said my heart is sick of being in chains, oh oh oh

Chains, oh oh oh

Please be

Save me

I cry

Uh-huh, uh-huh

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?

Why do we, crucify ourselves, every day?

I crucify myself and nothing I do is good enough for you

I crucify myself, oh every day

I crucify myself

And my heart is sick of being

I said my heart is sick of being in chains, oh oh oh

Chains, why do we

Chains

Crucify ourselves

Every day

Ah-ah, ah, ah, ah

Oh, chains

Oh, yeah

Yeah, chains

Ah-ah, ah, ah, ah

Never going back again, oh

Crucify myself again, you know

Never going back again to crucify myself, every day
