Crucify (outtake) 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 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
Chains, 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
Chains, 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
Chains, why do we (why do we) appear in chains?
(Crucify ourselves) crucify ourselves
Every day (why do we crucify ourselves?)
Ah-ah, ah, ah, ah
Oh, chains (why do we crucify ourselves?)

Yeah, chains (why do we crucify ourselves?)
Ah-ah, ah, ah, ah
Never going back again, oh (why do we crucify ourselves?)
Crucify myself again, you know (why do we crucify ourselves?)
Never going back again to crucify myself, every day
