Doughnut Song - Tori Amos

Written By Tori Amos - Published By Sword And Stone


had me a trick and a kick and your message
well you'll never gain weight from a doughnut hole
then thought that i could decipher your message
there's no one here dear
no one at all


and if i'm wasting all your time
this time
maybe you never learned to take
and if i'm hanging on to your shade
i guess i'm way beyond the pale


and southern man can grow gold
can grow pertty
blood can be pertty
like a delicate man
copper to steel to a hinge that is faltered
that let's you in let's you in
something's just keeping you numb


you told me last night
you were a sun now with your very own


devoted satellite
happy for you
and i am sure that i hate you
two sons too many too many able fires


and if i'm wasting all your time
this time
i think you never learned to take
and if i'm hanging on to your shade
i guess i'm way beyond the pale



Dedicated to the 25 or 6 to 4 girl i once knew... and that once knew me.
