Tori Amos — Smokey Joe (Album Version) lyrics

Lyrics

Smokey Joe you’re calling at the station,
«Love, it’s one of lifes complications»
I did not ask for this
«Oh but Love yes you did»
Maybe it terrifies me This quiet siege
Maybe it terrifies me It’s too easy
It’s too easy
To wish you harm
It’s too easy
You through black ice
At the bottom of the river
Smokey Joe hey what’s a revelation
«That one’s past is not a destination
It is a road for fools
Who need empty approvals»
My dark twin
The annihilating Feminine
Does not need
Civilizing
Maybe it terrifies me This quiet siege
Maybe it terrifies me It’s too easy
It’s too easy
To wish you harm
It’s too easy
You through black ice
At the bottom of the river
Smokey Joe can you pass the pipe
You have been blessed now go be wise.
«It is a coward who will say he’s not afraid
Of dying when clearly he is potently alive»
A songless robin
She became
He stole my sister Clitorides.
These silken rubber gloves
Choking his vitriolic tongue
Maybe it terrifies me This quiet siege
Maybe it terrifies me This quiet siege
It’s too easy
It’s too easy
To wish you harm
It’s too easy
You through black ice
At the bottom of the river
Smokey Joe is calling at the station
Calling at the station
