Father Lucifer
You never looked so sane
You always did prefer the drizzle to the rain
Tell me that you're still in love with that milkmaid
How's the Lizzies
How's your Jesus Christ been hanging
Nothing gonna stop me from floating
Nothing gonna stop me from floating
He says he reckons I'm a watercolour stain
He says I run and then I run from him
And then I run
He didn't see me watching
From the aeroplane
He wiped a tear
And then he threw away our appleseed
Nothing gonna stop me from floating
Everyday's my wedding day
Though baby's still in his comatose state
I'll die my own Easter eggs
Don't go yet
And Beenie lost the sunset but that's but that's OK
Does Joe bring flowers to Marilyn's grave
And girls that eat pizza but never gain weight
Father Lucifer you never looked so sane
You never looked so sane
You always did prefer the drizzle to the rain
Tell me that you're still in love with that milkmaid
How's the Lizzies
How's your Jesus Christ been hanging
Nothing gonna stop me from floating
Nothing gonna stop me from floating
He says he reckons I'm a watercolour stain
He says I run and then I run from him
And then I run
He didn't see me watching
From the aeroplane
He wiped a tear
And then he threw away our appleseed
Nothing gonna stop me from floating
Everyday's my wedding day
Though baby's still in his comatose state
I'll die my own Easter eggs
Don't go yet
And Beenie lost the sunset but that's but that's OK
Does Joe bring flowers to Marilyn's grave
And girls that eat pizza but never gain weight
Father Lucifer you never looked so sane

In that third bit, I always heard 'Maybe she's hiding in a heart of gold/She's got a pig hiding in a truffle/Wearing those purple garters and girl I got a condo in hoboken'
I love this song so much, it's my favourite Tori song, it's one of my favourite songs ever, and it's actually the first Tori song I ever heard My music teacher told my mum on parents' evening that my songwriting reminds her of Tori Amos, so I looked her up and I was really flattered.
Also, 'Does Joe bring flowers to Marilyn's grave?' is one of my favourite song lyrics ever, I don't know why but I just love that bit.
