tori amos – crucify (live) [montreux 1992] lyrics
[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
i 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 yeah
chains
[verse 2]
got a kick for a dog
begging 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 k!ll 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]
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 being in
chains, oh oh yeah
chains
[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
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 being in
chains
in chains, oh yes
in chains
[outro]
i’m never going back again, no
to crucify myself again, you know
i’m never going back again to crucify myself
everyday, yes
