Vox Lyrics

Got a transcription of the lyrics to the song "Vox" on the new Tori Amos disc. Apparently Abnormally Attracted to Sin is not getting any kind of physical release. Something about a strictly digital release and download cards...?

06. Vox (7:54)
i tracked you by scent
to the other side of the mountain
where you managed
an escipade
of astronomical proportions
and mostly theorized facts
with the needle to the monument
pulling my structure
my charicature
make a beeline for the
landing
point
who do you think you're running from
in this land of insisting
as i crawl out of mirrors and evade when you thrust
a lady of mist
and wet heart sorrow
do you struggle at the sanctuary?

i guess we can only blame ourselves
for letting it get like this
just Vox
no more beats beating
no more beats beating in my head
at five in the morning
and Vox
can remedy
can suffer
can make just one more excuse
for causing damage
causing damage

it gets cold when it rains
on the other side of the mountain
but you suffered
and changed
and the years have been rough on you
but this one time it matters
which cult you belong to
atoms can bust
and women can loan their
metal
hearts
why do you try to trust me
when my back is turning?
and i am comfortable with hurt and with sorrow
a practical lie
and still i hold you
but can you love me with the safety off?

i guess we can only blame ourselves
for letting it get like this
just Vox
no more beats beating
no more beats beating in my head
at five in the morning
and Vox
can remedy
can suffer
can make just one more excuse
for causing damage
causing damage

shrink
and wonder
about that one time in your life
when you could have been the man of your dreams
and let him
embrace you with his
white
hot
ego
not like this tale you weave will bring me wonder
or wool to my skin
and a meal for my chamber maid
to just let this terror in my life
hold and wonder why you blink when you say you feel just what i feel
if i let you bring me into this deeper than i stand
at the other side of the mountain
barely helps me with my Vox
with my fox
materializing
but one day you will just sweat and wallow
and shiver in your sleep
it is just me
haunting you completely through
but what a lonely view
from the other side of the mountain

i guess we can only blame ourselves
for letting it get like this
just Vox
no more beats beating
no more beats beating in my head
at five in the morning
and Vox
can remedy
can suffer
can make just one more excuse
for causing damage
causing damage
