Amber Waves Songtext

von Tori Amos

Well he lit you up like Amber Waves in his movie show
He fixed you up real good till I don't know you anymore
From Ballet class to a lap dance straight to video
And the pool side news was that he would be launching you
Into every young mans bedroom
You gave it up
On DVD and magazine
You gave it up
A private rite of passage
You gave it up
To every boys sweet dream with their paper cuts
You said he's got a healing machine it glows in the dark, glows in the dark
You say there's not a lot of me left anymore ? just leave it alone
But if you're by and you had the time tell the northern lights to keep shining
Lately it seems like they're drowning

He could light you up and summon every swan to the lakeside
Off to Cabo San Lucas for some optical stimulus
Then you started to guess there was someone else through his flint glass
Seeing all of you immersed in his sepia
Into every young mans bedroom
You gave it up
On DVD and magazine
You gave it up
A private rite of passage
You gave it up
To every boys sweet dream with their paper cuts
You said he's got a healing machine it glows in the dark, glows in the dark
You say there's not a lot of me left anymore ? just leave it alone
But if you're by and you had the time tell the northern lights to keep shining
Lately it seems like they're drowning

So I went by cause I had the time, and told the northern lights to keep shining
They told me to tell you ? they're waving
