Tori Amos - Scarlet's Walk LYRICS

if you ever thought
you will want me
to think you
and i did invite
a guest up until
you announced that
you had moved in
"what do you plan to do with all your freedom?"
the new sheriff said,
quite proud of his badge
"you must admit the land is now in good hands"
yes, time will tell
that you just lit your lamp

i will follow her on her path
scarlet's walk through the violets
just tell your gods for me
all debts are off this year
they're free to leave
yes they're free to leave
leaving terra leaving terra

there was a time
when i thought
that her destiny
should've been mine
big brave nation
but instead her medicine
now forgotten
"what do you plan to do with all your stories"
the new sheriff said,
quite proud of his badge
we'll weave them through
every rocket's red glare
and huddled masses
you just lift your lamp
i will follow.
if you're a thought
you will want me
to think you
and i did and did.
