"Crucify" Lyrics

(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 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

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
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

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
And my heart is sick of being in chains.
