TORI AMOS LYRICS - Smokey Joe

"Smokey Joe"



[Pip I]



Smokey Joe you're calling at the station,

"Love, it's one of lifes complications"

I did not ask for this

"Oh but Love yes you did"



Maybe it terrifies me

This quiet siege

Maybe it terrifies me



[Pip II]



It's too easy

It's too easy

To wish you harm

It's too easy

You through black ice

At the bottom of the river



[Pip I]



Smokey Joe hey what's a revelation

"That one's past is not a destination

It is a road for fools

Who need empty approvals"



[Pip II]



My dark twin

The annihilating Feminine

Does not need

Civilizing



[Pip I]



Maybe it terrifies me

This quiet siege

Maybe it terrifies me



[Pip II]



It's too easy

It's too easy

To wish you harm

It's too easy

You through black ice

At the bottom of the river



[Pip I]



Smokey Joe can you pass the pipe

You have been blessed now go be wise.

"It is a coward who will say he's not afraid

Of dying when clearly he is potently alive"



[Pip II]



A songless robin

She became

He stole my sister Clitorides.

These silken rubber gloves

Choking his vitriolic tongue



[Pip I]



Maybe it terrifies me

This quiet siege

Maybe it terrifies me

This quiet siege



[Pip II]



It's too easy

It's too easy

To wish you harm

It's too easy

You through black ice

At the bottom of the river



[Pip I and Pip II]



Smokey Joe is calling at the station

Calling at the station
