Tori Amos - Girl lyrics

From in the shadow she calls
And in the shadow she finds a way
Finds a way and in the shadow she crawls
Clutching her faded photograph
My image under her thumb
Yes, with a message for my heart
Yes, with a message for my heart

She's been everybody else's girl
Maybe one day she'll be her own
Everybody else's girl
Maybe one day she'll be her own

Hey, and in the doorway they stay
And laugh as violins fill with water
Screams from the bluebells can't
Make them go away well I'm not seventeen
But, I've cuts on my knees
Falling down as the winter
Takes one more cherry tree

She's been everybody else's girl
Maybe one day she'll be her own
Everybody else's girl
Maybe one day she'll be her own

Everyone else's girl everyone else's girl
Maybe one day she'll be her own
One day she'll be her own
Everyone else's girl
Rushin' rivers thread so thin, limitation
Maybe one day she'll be her own
Dreams with the flying pigs turbid blue
Oh, everyone else's girl
And the drugstore's too safe
Maybe one day she'll be her own
In their coats and in their do's
Oh, everyone else's girl
Yeah, smother in our hearts
A pillow to my dots
Maybe one day, maybe one day
One day she'll be her own

And in the mist, there she rides
And castles are burning in my heart
And as I twist I hold tight
And I ride to work
Every morning wondering why
"Sit in the chair and be good now"
And become all that they told you
The white coats enter her room
And I'm calling my baby
Calling my baby, calling my baby, calling

Everybody else's girl
Maybe one day she'll be her own
Everybody else's girl
Maybe one day she'll be her own
Everybody else's girl
Maybe one day she'll be her own
