Crucify Songtext
von Tori Amos

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
Nothing I do is good enough for you
I crucify myself every day
I crucify myself
And my heart is sick of being, I said my heart is sick of bein′ in
Chains, oh oh oh
Chains, oh oh oh


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

Why do we crucify ourselves every day?
I crucify myself
Nothing I do is good enough for you
I crucify myself every day
I crucify myself
And my heart is sick of being, I said my heart is sick of bein' in
Chains, oh oh oh
Chains, oh oh oh

Please be
Save me
I cry
Ah, ah


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 every day
I crucify myself
And my heart is sick of being, I said my heart is sick of bein' in
Chains, oh oh oh
Chains

Why do we, in chains (why do we crucify ourselves?)
Crucify ourselves every day, oh oh oh oh oh (why do we crucify ourselves?)
Oh, chains, oh yeah (why do we crucify ourselves?
In chains, oh oh oh oh oh (why do we crucify ourselves?)
Never going back again, no (why do we crucify ourselves?)
To crucify myself again, you know (why do we crucify ourselves?)
Never going back again to crucify myself every day
