"She's Your Cocaine" as written by and Tori Ellen Amos....
She's your cocaine
She's got you shaving your legs
You can suck anything
But you know you want to be me
Put on your makeup boy
You're your favourite stranger
And we all like to watch
So shimmy once and do it again
Bring your sister
Bring your sister if you can't handle it
She says control it
Then she says don't control it
Then she says you're controlling
The way she makes you crawl
She's your cocaine
Your exodus laughing
And she knows what you are
So shimmy once
And do it again
Bring your sister
Bring your sister if you can't handle it
If you want me to boy I could lie to you
You don't need one of these to let me inside of you
And is it true that devils end up like you
Something safe for the picture frame
And is it true that devils end up like you
So tied up you don't know how she came
She's your cocaine
She's got you shaving your legs
She got you liking mine back
Got me taking it in
Getting mine back
Lasting mine evil
I'm taking my easel
And I'm writing good checks
You sign Prince of Darkness
Try squire of dimness
Please don't help me with this
Cut it again
She's got you shaving your legs
You can suck anything
But you know you want to be me
Put on your makeup boy
You're your favourite stranger
And we all like to watch
So shimmy once and do it again
Bring your sister
Bring your sister if you can't handle it
She says control it
Then she says don't control it
Then she says you're controlling
The way she makes you crawl
She's your cocaine
Your exodus laughing
And she knows what you are
So shimmy once
And do it again
Bring your sister
Bring your sister if you can't handle it
If you want me to boy I could lie to you
You don't need one of these to let me inside of you
And is it true that devils end up like you
Something safe for the picture frame
And is it true that devils end up like you
So tied up you don't know how she came
She's your cocaine
She's got you shaving your legs
She got you liking mine back
Got me taking it in
Getting mine back
Lasting mine evil
I'm taking my easel
And I'm writing good checks
You sign Prince of Darkness
Try squire of dimness
Please don't help me with this
Cut it again

[INT]: That isn't very sisterly of you.
[Tori]: I think your own sex can see your sex for what it is. You know the tricks of your own sex. Sometimes you can put your little play glasses on and not want to see them. But I know when another woman is flirting with one of my crew - it's so obvious and yet they can't see it. They say 'oh she's so pained' or 'she's had all this stuff happen to her'. I know a girl like this - who uses her victimness to make people feel they can't do enough for her, that nothing is ever enough. And you're like an addict. You can't spill enough blood, you can't wrap your dick into seventeen different little shapes, y'know, like those balloons. 'Here... look! Puppy! Ice cream truck!' This song is my revenge.

Anyway, that was kind of my idea, about a man being feminized. Only, I saw it as the girl getting her revenge on the male-chauvenistic world we still live in. I'm not saying, ALL MEN are like this but a lot of them are, & it makes her feel good to have this guy wrapped around her finger. It makes her feel good to have gained back control by dominating him, 'cause she's got something he wants. & if he wants it, he'll have to do what she says.
'So tied up you dont know how she came' like so prepared for a life of manogamy that he didnt expect to have to resist anothers charms.
Either that or its about a cross dresser lol
