  • She's addicted to nicotine patches
    She's addicted to nicotine patches
    She's afraid of the light in the dark
    6:58 are you sure where my spark is
    Here, here, here
    She's convinced she could hold back a glacier
    But she couldn't keep baby alive
    Doubting if there's a woman in there somewhere
    Here, here, here

    You say you don't want it again and again
    But you don't, don't really mean it
    You say you don't want it this circus were in
    But you don't, don't really mean it
    You don't, don't really mean it

    If the divine master plan is perfected
    Maybe next I'll give Judus a try
    Trusting my soul to the ice cream assassin
    Here, here, here

    You say you don't want it again and again
    But you don't, don't really mean it
    You say you don't want it this circus were in
    But you don't, don't really mean it
    You don't, don't really mean it

    How mant fates turn around in the overturn
    Ballerina's that have fins that you'll never find
    You thought that you were the bomb, yes, well so did I
    Say you don't want it, say you don't want it
    How mant fates turn around in the overturn
    Ballerina's that have fins that you'll never find
    You thought that you were the bomb, yes, well so did I
    Say you don't want it, say you don't want it
    Say you don't want it again and again
    But you don't, don't really mean it
    You say you don't want it
    This circus were in
    But you don't, don't really mean it
    You don't, don't really mean it

    She's addicted to nicotine patches
    She's afraid of the light in the dark
    6:58 are you sure where my spark is
    Here, here, here Writer/s: Tori Ellen Amos

  • Umm from NowhereI used to lock myself in the van at the cabin and listen to this on a tape I recorded off the radio
  • Theresa from Murfreesboro, TnI became a fan of Tori after this song was released. I thought to myself - finally a woman who has something important to say.
  • Deb from Melbourne, AustraliaA few of Tori's songs are about miscarraige. Muhummed My Friend is similar - in Piece by Piece Tori talks about pleading with whatever powers she can, Muhammed, God, whoever, to let her keep her baby.
