I Can Remember Where I Come From

I walked into your dream
And now I've forgotten how to dream my own dream
You are the clever one aren't you
Brides and veils for you
We told you all our secrets
All but one
And don't you even try
The phone has been disconnected
Dripping with blood
and with time and with your advice
Poison me against the moon

Mother the car is here
Blood chariot for the dancing girl
He's gonna change my name
Somebody leave the light on
Just in case I like the dancing
I can remember where I come from

First my left foot then my right behind the other
bread crumbs lost under the snow

Mother...
the car is here
maybe you'll leave the light on...

- "Mother" by Tori Amos
