Yes, Anastasia

Music and Lyrics by Tori Amos

I know what you want the magpies have come if you know me so well then 
tell me which hand I use Make them go make it go
Saw her there in a restaurant Poppy don't go I know your mother is a good one
but Poppy don't go I'll take you home show
me the things I've been missing show me the ways I forgot to be speaking show
me the ways to get back to the garden
show me the ways to get around the get around show me the ways to button up
buttons that have forgotten well we can't
have that forgetting that
girls girls what have we done to ourselves driving on the vine over clothes
lines but officer I saw the signs thought I'd been
through this in 1919 counting the years of ten thousand men and gathered them
all but my feet are slipping there's
something we left on the windowsill there's something we left yes
We'll see how brave you are we'll see how fast you'll be running we'll see how
brave you are yes, Anastasia and all your
dollies have friends
Thought she deserved no less than she'd give well happy birthday her blood's on
my hands it's kind of a shame cause I did
like that dress it's funny the things that you find in the rain the things that
you find in the mall in the date-mines in the knot
still in her hair on the bus on my way down all the girls seem to be there
Come along now little darlin' come along now with me come along now little
darlin' we'll see how brave you are
