Sister Named Desire

Lyrics by Tori Amos

Got a sister named Desire
They don't let you light those
little boys' bibles
On the backhand swing, yes
I know a Vicar who coughs a lot
I thought we told some little sweet stories
In the parking lot

They say the girl lost her sway
They say the girl lost her sway that day

God I'd like to drag him for a long way
'cause maybe I...
Then I'd just cry a little tear near
To that sleepy safe place
And I'm gonna take it by myself if I've got to go
Don't let you let you know where she goes to
with those, me and you
and I fear

The girl lost her sway
They say the girl lost her sway that day

Teach me about them old old words big brother man
in an elevator
where somebody can get out
With the sound

They say the girl lost her sway
Just watch it
Just watch it slip through my hands, boy
Watch it go
What you know

hey, yes
I see
Just see
'cause she still can sway
