Tori Amos - Sweet Dreams lyrics

"Lie, lie, lies everywhere
" said the father to the son
Your peppermint breath going to
Choke him to death
Daddy watch your little black sheep run
He got kni-kni-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
You're gonna 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 sweet dreams
Sweet dreams sweet dreams
