Sweet Dreams

Music and Lyrics by 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" mister
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 zipper 
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 catching 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
