Cover art for Cloud On My Tongue lyrics by Tori Amos

This is obviously about being affected by a guy who simply sees her as just a notch on his belt. She's now part of his collection with all the freezing girls he's left behind. She thought she could handle it when it started/she knew what she was getting into, that he was a player...'someone's knocking on my kitchen door...'saying she doesn't need much to keep her warm, she's not like the other girls. But she's got this cloud, this idea that she's better than or can be more than the other girls he's had. Before she knows it she's in 'circles and circles and circles again...' She thought she was clear of him, she was over the bridge but nope! As a woman who's been in this situation, this is a very powerful song.
