Sweet Dreams

Tori Amos

"lies everywhere"
said the father to the son
you're peppermint breath
gonna choke him to death, Daddy
watch your little black sheep run
he's got knives in his back
everytime he opens up
you say, "he gotta be strong if
he wants to be a man"
mr.
i don't know how you can have
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
9 months pregnant with 5 billion points
of light gonna shine them on the face
of your friends-- they've got the earth in a sling
the world on her knees 
they've even got your sipper
between their teeth
sweet dreams
you say you have 'em
i say that you're a liar
go on and dream
your house is on fire

well well summer wind
been catchin' up with me
"elephant mind missy
you don't have you're forgettin'
to fly darlin' when you sleep"
i got hazy lazy Susan
takin' turns all over my dreams
i got lizards and snakes
runnin' through my body
funny how they all have my face
sweet dreams
