Yes Anastasia - Lyrics by Tori Amos


Lyrics

I know what you want
The magpies have come

If you know me so well then tell me which hand I use

Make them go
Make it go

Saw her there in a restaurant
Poppy don't go
I know your mother is a good one but Poppy don't go
I'll take you home
Show me the things I've been missin
Show me the ways I forgot to be speaking
Show me the ways to get back to the garden
Show me the ways to get around the get around
Show me the ways to button up buttons
that have forgotten they're buttons
Well we can't have that forgetting that
Girls girls what have we done
What have we done to ourselves

Driving on the vine over clothes lines
but officer I saw the sign

Thought I'd been through this in 1919
Counting the tears of ten thousand men
and gathered them all but my feet are slipping
There's something we left on the windowsill
There's something we left yes

We'll see how brave you are
We'll see how fast you'll be running
We'll see how brave you are
Yes, Anastasia

and all your dollies have friends

Thought she deserved no less than she'd give
Well happy birthday
Her bloods on my hands
It's kind of a shame cause I did like that dress
It's funny the things you find in the rain
The things that you find
in the mall and in the date-mines
in the knot still in hair
on the bus I'm on my way down
All the girls seem to be there

We'll see how brave you are
We'll see how fast you'll be running
We'll see how brave you are
We'll see
We'll see how brave you are
We'll see how fast you'll be running
You'll see how brave you are
Yes, Anastasia

Come along now little darlin'
Come along now with me
Come along now little darlin'
We'll see how brave you are
