Cornflake Girl
Tori Amos · A Piano: The Collection [2006]
Never was a cornflake girl
thought it was a good solution
hangin' with the raisin girls
she's gone to the other side
givin us the yo heave ho
things are getting kinda gross
and I go at sleepy time
this is not really this a this a this is not
really happening
you bet your life it is
peel out the watchword
just peel out the watchword
she knows what's going in
seems we got a cheaper feel now
all the sweeteaze are gone
gone to the other side
with my encyclopedia
they musta paid her a nice price
she's puttin on her string bean head
this is not really this a this a this is not
really happening
you bet your life it is
rabbit where'd you put the keys girl
and the man with the golden gun thinks he
knows so much
rabbit where'd you put the keys girl
thought it was a good solution
hangin' with the raisin girls
she's gone to the other side
givin us the yo heave ho
things are getting kinda gross
and I go at sleepy time
this is not really this a this a this is not
really happening
you bet your life it is
peel out the watchword
just peel out the watchword
she knows what's going in
seems we got a cheaper feel now
all the sweeteaze are gone
gone to the other side
with my encyclopedia
they musta paid her a nice price
she's puttin on her string bean head
this is not really this a this a this is not
really happening
you bet your life it is
rabbit where'd you put the keys girl
and the man with the golden gun thinks he
knows so much
rabbit where'd you put the keys girl
