Muhammad my Friend

Music and Lyrics by Tori Amos

Muhammed my friend 
it's time to tell the world 
we boh know it was a girl back in Bethlehem 
and on that fateful day 
when she was crucified 
she wore Shiseido Red and we drank tea 
by her side 

sweet sweet 
used to be so sweet to me 
Muhammed my friend 
I'm getting very scared 
teach me how to love my brothers 
who don't know the law 
and what about the deal on that flying 
trapeze got a peanut butter hand 
but honey do drop in at the 
Dew Drop Inn 

sweet sweet 
between the boys and the bees 

and Moses I know 
I know you've seen fire 
but you've never seen fire 
until you've seen Pele blow 
and I've never seen light 
but I sure have seen gold 
and Gladys save a place for me 
on your grapevine 
till I get my own TV show 

ashre ashre ashre ashre 
and if I lose my Cracker Jacks at the 
tidal wave I got a place 
in the Pope's rubber robe
Muhammed my friend 
it's time to tell the world 
we both know it was a girl 
back in Bethlehem.
