Putting the Damage On

Music and Lyrics by Tori Amos


Glue 
stuck to my shoes 
does anyone know why you play with orange rind 
you say you packed my things 
and divided what was mine you're off to the mountain top 
I say her skinny legs could use sun 
but now I'm wishing 
for my best impression 
of my best Angie Dickinson 
but now I've got to worry 
cause boy you still look pretty 
when you're putting the damage on 

don't make me scratch on you door 
I never left you 
for a Banjo 
I only just turned around for a poodle 
and a corvette 
and my impression 
of my best Angie Dickinson 
but now I've got to worry 
cause boy you still look pretty 
when you're putting the damage on 

I'm trying not to move 
it's just your ghost 
passing through 
I said 
I'm trying not to move 
It's just your ghost passing through 
It's just your ghost 
passing through 
and now 
I'm quite sure 
there's a light in your platoon 
I never seen a light move 
like yours 
can do to me 
so now I'm wishing 
for my best impression 
of my best Angie Dickinson 
but now I've got to worry 
cause boy you still look pretty 
to me 
but I've got a place to go 
I've got a ticket for your late show 
and now I'm worrying cause even still 
you sure are pretty 
when you'r putting the damage on 
yes 
when you're putting the damage on 
you're just so pretty 
when you're putting the damage on
