lyricsI live my life in chains, got my hands in chains
And I can't stick with the cards that I got with a deal like this
I must insist that a girl's got more to do
Then be the way you think a woman should
I'm taking it into my own hands
In this man's land I can understand why I'm taking command
Had enough of stuff
And now it's time to think about me, me yeah
And you can easily gamble your life away
Second after second and a day by day
You play the game or you walk away
It's a new turn on a blue day
And a cool deal of life for me
And it's all good
I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier (Soldier)
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
But that's not the shape of my heart
I've always played it safe nothing's ever safe
Give me the courage to back my own convictions
Every decision I make I pay it back and more
Now turn the cards and let them fall to me
'Cause I don't need to play on with the hand that they have given me
I'll give it back 'cause it's not the way it has to be
And you can easily gamble your life away
Second after second and a day by day
You play the game or you walk away
It's a new turn on a blue day
And a cool deal of life for me
And it's all good
I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier (Soldier)
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
But that's not the shape of my heart
That's not the shape
The shape of my heart
My heart (My heart)
That's not the shape of my heart
And you can easily gamble your life away
Second after second and a day by day
You play the game or you walk away
It's a new turn on a blue day
And you can easily gamble your life away (Gamble your life away)
Second after second and a day by day (Day)
You play the game or you walk away
It's a new turn on a blue day
And a cool deal of life for me
And I'm feeling good
I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier (Yeah, soldier)
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
But that's not the shape of my heart
But that's not the shape of my heart
That's not the shape...
Shape of my heart
Tori Amos - Sleeps With Butterflies
lyricsAirplanes take you away again
Are you flying
Above where we live?
Then I look up a glare in my eyes
Are you having regrets about last night?
I'm not but I like rivers that rush in
So then I dove in
Is there trouble ahead
For you the acrobat?
I won't push you unless you have a net
You say the word
You know I will find you
Or if you need some time
I don't mind
I don't hold on
To the tail of your kite
I'm not like the girls that you've known
But I believe I'm worth coming home to
Kiss away night
This girl only sleeps with butterflies
With butterflies
So go on and fly then boy
Balloons
Look good from on the ground
I fear with pins and needles around
We may fall then stumble
Upon a carousel
It could take us anywhere
You say the word
You know I will find you
Or if you need some time
I don't mind
I don't hold on
To the tail of your kite
I'm not like the girls that you've known
But I believe I'm worth coming home to
Kiss away night
This girl, this girl
You say the word
You know I will find you
Or if you need some time
I don't mind
I don't hold on
To the tail of your kite
I'm not like the girls that you've known
But I believe I'm worth coming home to
Kiss away night
This girl only sleeps with butterflies
With butterflies
With butterflies
So go on and fly boy
