  • Tori Amos - Virginia: lyrics and video

    All Tori Amos:
    Lyrics:
    when the land held your hand
    wrapped around her skin --
    oh virginia
    she can't recall what they represent
    still she'll lay down her body
    they kept her as long as they could
    (the red road carved up by sharp knife)
    she will betray


    but as always the thing that he loves


    and she loses a little each day
    found white shell beads
    in the lush virginia hills
    and when you ask, she won't know
    a life giving river --

    you can't remember your name
    and with a "goodbye" there she goes

    he will change from her sunrise to clockwise to soul trading
    do you remember
    and even wait for their savior to come
    so hundreds of years go by
    her body open as will his hand
    who try and arouse her turquoise serpents
    and in some things, maybe he'll be right
    to ghetto pimps and presidents
    oh virginia
    oh virginia
    she may betray all that she loves
    she will let you back in
    she's a girl out working her trade
    covering him all the same
    cause they knew when the white brother

    Epitomizes her genius. Who else could have written a song like this? Heart-tugging chromatics, imaginative rhythmic structure, cryptic lyric ... amazing. Reminiscent of Joni Mitchell's "Edith and the Kingpin."
