Tori Amos - Sweet Dreams lyrics

"Lie, lie, lies everywhere" Said the Father to the son You're peppermint breath Going to choke him to d**h Daddy watch your little black sheep run He got kni- kni- knives in his back Every time he opens up You say, "He got to be strong If you want to be a man" Mister, I don't know how you can have Sweet dreams 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 nine months pregnant With five billion points of light Going to shine them on the face of your friends They got the earth in a sling They got the world on her knees They've even got your zipper between their teeth Sweet dreams Sweet dreams You say, you say, you say that you have them I say that you're a liar Sweet dreams Sweet dreams Go on, go on, go on and dream Your house is on fire Come along now Well, well, summer wind Been catching up with me "Elephant mind, missy, you don't have You're forgetting to fly, darling When you sleep" I got hazy lazy Susan Taking turns all over my dreams I got lizards and snakes Running through my body Funny how they all have my face Sweet dreams Sweet dreams You say, you say, you say that you have them I say that you're a liar Sweet dreams Sweet dreams Go on, go on, go on and dream Your house is on fire Come along now Sweet dreams Sweet dreams Sweet dreams Sweet dreams
