Father Lucifer

Music and Lyrics by Tori Amos


Father Lucifer 
you never looked so sane 
you always did prefer the drizzle to the rain 
tell me that you're still in love with that Milkmaid 
how's the Lizzies 
how's your Jesus Christ been hanging 

nothings gonna stop me from floating 
nothings gonna stop me from floating 

he says he reckons I'm a watercolour stain 
he says I run and then I run from him 
and then I run 
he didn't see me watching 
from the aeroplane 
he wiped a tear 
and then he threw away our appleseed 

nothing gonna stop me from floating 

everyday's my wedding day 
though baby's still in his comatose state 
I'll die my own Easter eggs 
don't go yet 
and Beenie lost the sunset but that's but that's OK 
does Joe bring flowers to Marilyn's grave 
and girls that eat pizza but never gain weight 
Father Lucifer you never looked so sane
