Witness Lyrics

Thought I had a witness
c\'mon, c\'mon, c\'mon

Thought I had a witness
c\'mon, c\'mon, c\'mon

Thought I had a witness To this crime
Thought I had a witness
Thought we were on the same side of Becoming...
Then the judges called in a witness c\'mon, c\'mon, c\'mon, c\'mon, c\'mon...

So then when Did you then Begin your Craving for White powder
Exotic Matter that Cells Divide Arresting time

So in your Furnace then
You drank my Tenderness
Feldspar and Mica then
You thought that You would own My temple of gold

Gotta rise In the night
Pick myself off the floor
I know now That it\'s over
I had a life Before
You left me burnin\' in
Your petrol emotion, boy
Your petrol emotion
Wanting more
c\'mon, c\'mon, c\'mon

Thought I had a witness
c\'mon, c\'mon, c\'mon
Thought we had a friendship
c\'mon, c\'mon, c\'mon

Thought I heard you Whispering murder
Thought this witches Brew was more than Bullet-proof
But words are like guns When you shoot the moon
\'Cause everybody whispers, yeah
c\'mon, c\'mon, c\'mon, c\'mon, c\'mon

So then when Did you then Begin your Craving for White powder
Exotic Matter that Cells Divide Arresting time

So in your Furnace then
You drank my Tenderness
Feldspar and Mica then
You thought that You would own My temple of gold

Gotta rise In the night
Pick myself off the floor, girls
I know now That it\'s over
I had a life Before
You left me burnin\' in, boy
Your petrol emotion
Your petrol emotion
Wanting more, mmm, yeah...

Is there anyone? Is it any wonder
Is there anyone? Is it any wonder, baby
Is there anyone? Is it any wonder...
I\'m out the door
I\'m out the door, now

Is there any way? Is there any way forward?
Is there any way? Is there any way forward?
Is there anyone? Is it any wonder?
Thought I had a witness Thought you were you Thought I was a witness
You could turn to Not in

Thought I had a witness
Thought I did

Thought had a witness
c\'mon, c\'mon, c\'mon
Thought I had a witness
c\'mon, c\'mon, c\'mon
c\'mon, c\'mon, c\'mon
c\'mon, c\'mon, c\'mon
c\'mon, c\'mon, c\'mon
c\'mon, c\'mon
hit it, boys
c\'mon, c\'mon, c\'mon
c\'mon, c\'mon, c\'mon
c\'mon, c\'mon come

Cover art for Witness lyrics by Tori Amos

Certainly far from my favorite Tori song ... this is a track skipper (it just gets too annoying).

But this is a pretty angry song ... Tori's furious with her record label trying to bury her (her "temple of gold").

thanks! i didn't know that... but it sure fits.

the ending of this song is terribly well written. but the bridges are just terrible.

thanks for this tori!

Maybe I'm in the minority, but I love this song, although it's true that the studio version could have been even better. That gorgeous bridge is one of the best moments on The Beekeeper.

Cover art for Witness lyrics by Tori Amos

It is a song about betrayal... expecting a witness for the defense who shows up on the side of the prosecutor (or the other way around) is used as a channel to describe feeling lost and betrayed when you are shocked to find someone you relayed on is fighting against you.
