sweet dreams

• (tori amos)
  
  "lies everywhere"
  said the father to the son
  you're peppermint breath
  gonna choke him to death daddy
  watch your little black sheep run
  he's got knives in his back
  everytime he opens up
  you say "he gotta be strong if
  he wants to be a man" mr.
  i don't know how you can have
  sweet dreams
  land land of liberty we're run
  by a constipated man
  when you live in the past you refuse
  to see when your daughter comes home
  9 months pregnant with 5 billion points
  of light gonna shine them on the face
  of your friends - they've got the earth in a sling
  the world on her knees they've even got
  your zipper between their teeth sweet dreams
  you say you have 'em
  i say that you're a liar
  go on and dream
  your house is on fire
  
  well well summer wind
  been catching up with me
  "elephant mind missy
  you don't have you're forgettin
  to fly darlin when you sleep"
  i got hazy lazy susan
  takin turns all over my dreams
  i got lizards and snakes
  runnin through my body
  funny how they all have my face
  sweet dreams
