Sister Named Desire

Tori Amos · Other Songs - Tori Amos

Got a sister named Desire

They dont let you like those little boys

by their house

On the back yard swing

I know of it cause

I thought we told some little sweet stories

In the parking lot



They say that girl lost her sway

The say that girl lost her sway that day

Mm mm mm mm mm, mm mm



God I'd like to drag him for a long way 'cause maybe I

Then I'd just cry a little tear near him

To that sleepy safe place

And I'm gonna take him by myself if I'v got to go

Don't let you know, let you know where she goes to

with those, me as I interfere

That girl lost her sway

They say that girl lost her sway that day



Mm, mm, mm, mm

Teach me about them old worlds big brother

and in an elevator

where somebody can get out

With the

sound

They say that girl lost her sway

Just watch it

Just watch it slip through my hands, Boy

Watch it go

Oh, what you know, ooh



I guess

I see

Just see

'Cause she still can sway

Na na na na na na

Na na na
