Pandora's Aquarium - Tori Amos

Pandora

Pandora’s Aquarium

she dives for shells

with her nautical nuns

and thoughts you thought

you’d never tell

I am not asking you to believe in me boy I think you’re confused

I’m not Persephone

foam can be dangerous

with tape across my mouth

these things you do I never asked you how

line me up in single file

with all your grievances

stare but I can taste

you’re still alive below the waste

ripples come and ripples go and ripple back to me Pandora

Pandora’s aquarium

she dives for shells

with her nautical nuns

and thoughts you thought

you’d never tell

line me up in single file

with all your grievances

stare but I can taste

you’re still alive below the waste

ripples come and ripples go and ripple back to me

I am not asking you to believe in me boy I think you’re confused

I’m not Persephone

she’s in New York somewhere checking her accounts

the Lord of The Flies was diagnosed as Sound
