Tempest

Lyrics by：Tori Amos

Composed by：Tori Amos

Produced by：Tori Amos

Suffocating, I cannot breathe

Choking on anxiety

Is St. Cecilia warning me?

I could lose myself so easily

Cortisol raging

The demise of my cathedral he seeks

Cortisol raging

He's ravenous to control everything

Tempest dragging me

Down to somewhere, he's there

Tempest dragging me

Down to where he'll watch me drown

He segregated me from me

Master of a quiet brutality

With St. Cecilia whispering

"Without a voice, he won't hear you scream"

Cortisol raging

Barely escaping, barely can breathe

Cortisol raging

I must get to Indian country

Tempest dragging me

Down to somewhere, he's there

Tempest dragging me

Down to where he'll watch me drown

Soon, with a knock on your door

Father George

To your eyes, we are leaving

Soon, the Gasoline Girls

Fully infused

But soon will be leaving

By St. Paul's in fast pursuit

An ancient truth

Mirrored by Andromeda

Who timed her nursemaids

By St. Paul's, I spy a bridegroom who cries

"She has left me, swearing she's trapped

Behind a mask

And must be her own man"

She's hit the road

To form her own

Goodbye Girls

Gasoline Girls Electric Band
