Sweet Dreams - Tori Amos

«Lie, lie, lies everywhere»

Said the Father to the son

You’re peppermint breath

Going to choke him to death

Daddy watch your little black sheep run

He got knives in his back

Every time he opens up

You say, «He got to be strong

If you want to be a man»

Mister, I don’t know how you can have

Sweet dreams

Sweet dreams

Land, land of liberty we’re run

By a constipated man

When you live in the past

You refuse to see

When your daughter comes home nine months pregnant

With five billion points of light

Going to shine them on the face of your friends

They got the earth in a sling

They got the world on her knees

They’ve even got your zipper between their teeth

Sweet dreams

Sweet dreams

You say, you say, you say that you have them

I say that you’re a liar

Sweet dreams

Sweet dreams

Go on, go on, go on and dream

Your house is on fire

Come along now

Well, well, summer wind

Been catching up with me

«Elephant mind, missy, you don’t have

You’re forgetting to fly, darling

When you sleep»

I got hazy lazy Susan

Taking turns all over my dreams

I got lizards and snakes

Running through my body

Funny how they all have my face

Sweet dreams

Sweet dreams

You say, you say, you say that you have them

I say that you’re a liar

Sweet dreams

Sweet dreams

Go on, go on, go on and dream

Your house is on fire

Come along now

Sweet dreams
