Me And A Gun

Music and Lyrics by Tori Amos



5am friday morning thursday night far from sleep 
I'm still up and driving can't go home obviously
So I'll just change direction cause they'll soon know where I live 
And I wanna live 
Got a full tank and some chips 

It was me and a gun and a man on my back 
And I sang "holy holy" as he buttoned down his pants

You can laugh
Its kind of funny
Things you think
Times like these
Like I haven't seen BARBADOS so I must get out of this

Yes I wore a slinky red thing 
Does that mean I should spread for you, your friends 
Your father, Mr Ed 

It was me and a gun and a man on my back 
But I haven't seen BARBADOS so I must get out of this

And I know what this means 
Me and Jesus a few years back used to hang 
And he said "it's your choice babe just remember 
I don't hink you'll be back in 3 days time so you choose well" 
Tell me whats right 
Is it my right to be on my stomach of Fred's Seville 

It was me and a gun and a man on my back 
But I haven't seen BARBADOS so I must get out of this

and do you know CAROLINA 
Where the biscuits are soft and sweet
These things go through your head when there's a man on your back 
And you're pushed flat on your stomach it's not a classic caddilac

It was me and a gun and a man on my back 
But I haven't seen BARBADOS so I must get out of this
I haven't seen BARBADOS so I must get out of this
