Tori Amos - Amber Waves LYRICS

Well he lit you up like amber waves in his movie show
He fixed you up real good
Til I don't know you anymore
From ballet class to a lap dance
Straight to video
And the poolside news was that he would be launching you

Into every young man's bedroom you gave it up
DVD and magazine you gave it up
A private rite of passage you gave it up
To every boy's sweet dream with their papercuts

You said he's got a healing machine
It glows in the dark
Glows in the dark
You say there's not a lot of me left anymore
Just leave it alone
But if you're by
And you have the time
Tell the Northern Lights to keep shining
Oh lately it seems like they're drowning

He could light you up
And summon every swan
Or the lakeside
Off to Cabo San Lucas
For some optical stimulus
Then you started to guess
There was someone else
Through his flint glass
Seeing all of you
Immersed in his sepia

Into every young man's bedroom you gave it up
DVD and magazine you gave it up
A private rite of passage you gave it up
To every boy's sweet dream with their papercuts

You said he's got a healing machine
It glows in the dark
Glows in the dark
You say there's not a lot of me left anymore
Just leave it alone
But if you're by
And you have the time
Tell the Northern Lights to keep shining
Oh lately it seems like they're drowning

So I went by cause I had the time
Told the Northern Lights to keep shining
They told me to tell you they're waving
