Tori Amos - Crucify lyrics

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

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
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 oh chains, oh oh oh

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 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

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 oh chains, oh oh oh

Please be save me
I cry

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?

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 oh chains

Why do we
In chains Why do we crucify ourselves?
Crucify ourselves
Every day Why do we crucify ourselves?
Oh, chains
Oh yeah Why do we crucify ourselves?
In chains Why do we crucify ourselves?
Never going back again
No Why do we crucify ourselves?
To crucify myself again
You know Why do we crucify ourselves?
Never going back again to crucify myself
Why do we crucify ourselves? Every day
