I've got a memory a thousand years old |
|
And I know secrets I've never been told |
|
And I've got jewels I haven't found |
|
And they'll return me to the ground |
|
I'm the girl, I'm the girl, I'm the girl, You know me |
|
I'm the girl, I'm the girl, I'm the girl, You know me |
|
And I'm a siren, I'll wreck you on my shores |
|
And I'm Godiva, I'll call you back for more |
|
And I'm Medusa, and I'm your favourite doll |
|
And I'm a Georgia O'Keeffe hanging on your wall |
|
I'm the girl, I'm the girl, I'm the girl, You know me |
|
I'm the girl, I'm the girl, I'm the girl, You know me |
|
I'm Joan of Arc, I'm the girl next door |
|
I'm the mother and the daughter |
|
of the mother and the daughter before |
|
And I remember being born just |
|
Sound and light and sound and light |
|
And I remember the first time, |
|
skin on skin in the arms of the night |
|
Well, how many times have we looked up into the starry skies |
|
and how many times have we felt the passion rise |
|
Every ruby-lipped girl baby |
|
old lady, squaw junkie, girl after girl after girl |
|
every muse, whore, good witch |
|
princess, back arching, year after year after year |
|
I'm the girl, I'm the girl, I'm the girl, You know me |
|
I'm the girl, I'm the girl, I'm the girl, You know me |
|
I'm Joan of Arc, I'm the girl next door |
|
I'm the mother and the daughter |
|
of the mother and the daughter |
|
the mother and the daughter |
|
of the mother and the daughter before |
