Lyrics by Tori Amos

Blue Skies, Hey Jupiter (Dakota Mix), Rubies and Gold,
Talula (The Tornado Mix), Siren (Great Expectations sndtrk), Gary's Girl,
Butterfly (Higher Learning sndtrk), Numbness

yeah...
those blue skies are ahead
blue skies in my head

All the town clocks
and marching soldiers socks
I say let's go let's go let's go
to this magic wonder show

and I'm walking and
crawling and

so tired i'm insane
so tour-on and sing

Blue skies are in my head
Said blue skies are up ahead...

Beach wood
says he'd like you-in-the-street
Said like you-in-the-street
in the lullabies

Just when she thinks it's
like-you-in-the-street
Said like-you-in-the-street
in the lullabies

You can go just where she's going

Blue skies are in my head
said blue skies are up ahead...

Hey Jupiter
(Dakota Mix)

no one's picking up the phone
guess it's me and me
and this little masochist
she's ready to confess
all the things that I never thought
that she could feel and

hey Jupiter
nothings been the same
so are you gay
are you blue
thought we both could use a friend
to run to

sometimes I breathe you in
and I know you know
and sometimes you take a swim
found your writing on my wall
if my heart's soaking wet
Boy your boots can leave a mess

hey Jupiter
nothings been the same
so are you gay
are you blue
thought we both could use a friend
to run to

and he isn't you
no one's picking up the phone
guess it's clear he's gone
and this little masochist
is lifting up her dress
guess I thought I could never feel
the thing I feel and

hey Jupiter
nothings been the same
so are you gay
are you blue
thought we both could use a friend
to run to
I thought I wouldn't have to keep
with you
hiding

I go from day to day
I know where the cupboards are
I know where the car is parked
I know he isn't you

nothing's been the same

nothing, nothing, nothing's been the same

Rubies and Gold
written with her brother when she was 19

rubies and gold
star of my moonlight
warmer then roses in spring
the kingdoms were sold
to hold their beauty, well
i'd sell my life anyway
just to say i held their heart in my arms
there's strength in my soul

rubies and gold
are you to me
you're a jewel upon my chest
warming my heart with your kissses,
a peaceful way to rest
fulfilling my life long wishes

and silently you're watching me
stroking my cheek with your hand
your eyes are deep yet filled with tears
i've never seen so much love in a man

rubies and gold
star of my moonlight
warmer than roses in spring
the kingdoms were sold
to hold their beauty, well
i'd sell my life anyway
just to say i held their heart in my arms
there's strength in my soul

Rubies and Gold
you are to me

Talula
The Tornado Mix

He's chasing tornados
I'm just waiting calmly
Chasing, yeah

Talula
Talula
you don't want to lose her
she must be worth losing
if it is worth something
Talula
Talula
she's brand new now to you
wrapped in your papoose
your little Fig Newton

ran into the Henchman who severed
Anne Boleyn
he did it right quickly a merciful man
she said 1 + 1 is 2
but Henry said that it was 3
so it was
here I am

Talula
Talula
I don't want to lose it
it must be worth losing
if it is worth something
Talula
Talula
she's brand new now to you
wrapped in your papoose
your little Fig Newton

and Jamaica
do you know what I have done
Mary M weaving on said
what you want is in the blood Senators
what you want is in the blood Senators

I got Big Bird on the fishing line
with a bit of a shout a bit of a shout
a bit of an angry snout
he's my favorite hooker of the whole bunch
and I know about his only Bride
and how the Russians die on the ice
I got my rape hat on
honey but I could always accessorise
and I never cared too much for the money
but I know right now honey
that it's in God's hands
but I don't know who the Father is

Talula
Talula
I don't want to lose him
he must be worth losing
if it is worth something
Talula
Talula
he's brand new now to you
wrapped in your papoose
your little Fig Newton
your little Fig Newton
your little Fig Newton

He's chasing tornados
I'm just waiting calmly

Siren
(Great Expectations soundtrack)

and you know you're gonna
lie to you
in your own way

know know too well
know the chill
know she breaks
my Siren

NEVER was one
for a prissy girl
coquette
Call in For
an ambulance
Reach high
doesn't
mean SHE'S
holy
just means
She's got a Cellular handy
almost
Brave
almost
pregnant
almost in love "Vanilla"

and you know you're
gonna lie to you
in your own way

(Played to the music of Cornflake Girl - Recorded at the WNEW Studios 2/5/96)
I'm gonna be Gary's Girl
Six in the morning and my hands are roaming
‘Cause I'm Gary's Girl
There's a little bit of heaven on 92.7
When you're Gary's Girl
The boy knows how to turn me on
My friends all call me Gary's Girl

He's just, just, just, just so happenin'
You bet your life he is
You bet your life he is
You bet your life
He's a peel not a banana
He's a peel not a banana

I think I'll Gary's Girl
We're all alone with his microphone
So I'm Gary's Girl
He's coming around
‘Cause I'm going down
The stretch to Gary's world
The boy know's how to turn me on
My friends all call me Gary's Girl

‘Cause he's just, just, so, so, so happenin'
You bet your life he is
You bet your life he is
You bet your life
He's a peel not a banana
Still a peel not a banana

But he's just
what he is
and he is
and he is
and he is

Butterfly
(Higher Learning soundtrack)

stinky soul get a little lost in my own
hey General, need a little love in that hole of yours
so one ways now and Saturdays now and our kittens
all wrapped in cement
from cradle to gumdrops got me running girl
as fast as I can
and is it right,
butterfly,
they like you better framed and dried?

daddy, dear, if I can kill one man why not two?
well, nurses smile when you've got iron veins
you can't stain
their pretty shoes.
and pompoms and cherry blondes
and the kittens still wrapped in cement
from God's saviours to gumdrops
got me running girl as fast as I can
and is it right,
butterfly,
they like you better framed and dried?

got a pretty, pretty garden
pretty garden, yes.

and he knows
a light won't stay lit
the lion's flown the nest
for his love is gone that
he gave her
there's always one droplet
but you forget I'm not your daughter
nor will I wear your mother's dress
so it is
take a fuel gun
take a fuel gun
thought a war would be much more fun
than this numbness

When Space Dog decided to take down "Way Beyond the Pale" he said I could take these lyrics from his page. He had it very well done (better than I'd had mine), so thanks Space Dog for letting me post all your hard work. Your site will be missed...
