Tori Amos - Bang lyrics

Bang went the gun on their tongue
Word crucifixion toward immigrants shunned
Immigrants that's who we all are
'Cause we're all made of stars
You said to them oh, yes you did

Bang went the universe
Hydrogen lusting for helium's burst
A mighty sun's dance of death
Exploding Super Nova one story's end
Seeds another to begin

Then the Heavens opened
And then I heard voices joined in Hosannas
Breathlessly I saw your star

So bright it blinded me
I had to shield my eyes
So bright it blinded me
I had to shield my eyes
So bright it blinded me
I had to shield my eyes
And then you took my hand oh, yes you did

Bang the world now traumatized
By a cluster of hostile humans who side
With their warlords of hate
So we must out-create
With the backbone of night to re humanize

Then the Heavens opened
And then I heard voices joined in Hosannas
And their tower of confusion
Could not drown the light from your star

So bright it blinded me
I had to shield my eyes
So bright it blinded me
I had to shield my eyes
So bright it blinded me
I had to shield my eyes
And then you lit the path oh, yes you did

Can't they see, he said to me
That we all are molecular machines
Goals and dreams all I wanna be is the very
Best machine I can be oxygen and carbon
Part of our molecular machine
Goals and dreams all I wanna be is the very
Best machine I can be hydrogen, calcium
Phosphorus, potassium sulfur, sodium
All I wanna be is the very
Best machine I can be chlorine, magnesium
Boron, chromium cobalt, copper, fluorine
All I wanna be is the very
Best machine I can be
Iodine, Iron, Manganese molybdenum, Selenium
Silicon, Tin, Vanadium and Zinc
All I wanna be, a molecular machine
