Me And A Gun - Lyrics by Tori Amos


Lyrics
5am

Friday morning

Thursday night

Far from sleep
I'm still up and driving

Can't go home
obviously

So I'll just change direction

Cause they'll soon konw where I live

And I wanna live

Got a full tank and some chips

It was me and a gun

And a man on my back

And I say "holy holy" as he buttoned down his pants


Me and a gun
and a man
On my back

But I haven't seen Barbados

So I must get out of this

Yes I wore a slinky red thing

Does that mean I should spread

For you, your friends your father, Mr. Ed

And I know what this means

Me and Jesus a few years back

Used to hand and he said
"
It's your choice babe just remember
I don't think you'll be back in 3 days time

So you choose well"

Tell me what's right

Is it my right to be on my stomach
of Fred's Seville


Me and a gun
and a man
On my back

But I haven't seen Barbados

So I must get out of this


And do you know Carolina

Where the biscuits are soft and sweet
These things go through you head

When there's a man on your back

And you're pushed flat on your stomach

It's not a classic cadillac


Me and a gun
and a man
On my back

But I haven't seen Barbados

So I must get out of this
