Tori Amos
"Purple People (Christmas In Space)"


well hey do you do judo when they surround you
a little mental yoga will they disappear
it's grim but never dubious as motives go
no matter what it takes she promises a show 

thunder wishes it could be the snow
wishes it could be as loud as she can be
these gifts are here for her, for you, for me

i watch me be this other thing and never know
if i'm marooned or where the purple people go
and lily white matricide from vicious words
it doesn't leave a scratch so therefore no one's hurt

thunder wishes it could be the snow
wishes it could be as loud as she can be
these girls are here for her, for you, for me 

and don't you know the nurses make you clear
just when they've escaped you have yourself to fear
a restaurant that never has to close
breakfast every hour it could save the world 

so hey do you do judo in your finery
an angel's face is tricky to wear constantly 

thunder wishes it could be the snow
wishes it could be as loud as she can be
these gifts are here for her, for you, for me 

for her, for her
