Tori Amos - Not Dying Today lyrics

There was a gambler and a
Cleaner and a puppeteer
Only the puppet could explain
Just what he was
All on a bus we were hoping to pass the time
Plug my piece in boys then
We can drink the wine
Drink the wine, drink the wine

Well, music, good friends
I'm not dying today
I may be 6 feet under, full of wonder
I'm not dying today, dying today, today
Today I'm not dying, mister today, today

Neil is thrilled he can claim he's mammalian
"But the bad news, " he said, "Girl
You're a dandelion"
Dandelion, hey I need to think about that
Yeah, I thought about that and I said
"What the Hell?"
He said, "Nope, you are Earth bound
Blow them seeds away and maybe
One will make a sound
Make a sound, make a sound"

Oh, music, good friends i'm not dying today
I may be 6 feet under, full of thunder
I'm not dying today, dying today, today
Today I'm not dying, mister today, today

So they got us go, going and coming
'Cause they make us pay if we go or stay
Is he praying that I'll pop my clogs?
If they can't prove I'm crazy
By noon I'll be pushing up them daisies
Tomorrow, with their doughnut box
They'll say, "It's sad she's brown bread"
Hey, I got my weapons

Music, good friends i'm not dying today
I may be 6 feet under, way down yonder
I'm not dying today, dying
I'm not dying, sister
Keep your paws off my ankle
Straps and my mister
Dying, frying, rather have a lie-in
I am not blowing that Gabriel's trumpet
I got my own band to play today
