Daisy Dead Petals

Music and Lyrics by Tori Amos

Daisy dead petals, that is her name
she's in the phone booth phase so
underneath the shade of a peppermint tray
she can turn it out with a heal on 
she just rides into town
knowing what they'll say
knowing they're around the corner
got a crack in
got a crack in some strange places

Daisy dead petals, that is her name
so maybe she tastes like a hamburger maid, well 
these dead petals, honey, brought me here
she said, these dead petals, honey, brought me here

Dancing on a dime
hearing mother cry
maybe she's a-round the corner
got a crack in 
got a crack in some strange places
on my back with 
on my back with some dirty dishes

Falling down, falling down
all over the river
falling down, falling down, falling down
wish what I'm feeling could go on like this forever
falling down, falling down, falling down

And since we're down might as well stay
might as well fry some eggs
and wave to the shade of the peppermint tray
she's a new friend not a skeleton
to ride into town knowing what they'll say
knowing she tastes like a hamburger made but
these dead petals, honey, brought me here
She said, these dead petals, honey, brought me here
said these dead petals, honey, brought me here
