Amos, Tori - Virginia Lyrics
in the lush virginia hills
they kept her as long as they could
cause they knew when the white brother
found white shell beads
wrapped around her skin --
her body open as will his hand
and with a "goodbye" there she goes
she may betray all that she loves
and even wait for their savior to come
and in some things, maybe he'll be right
but as always the thing that he loves
he will change from her sunrise to clockwise to soul trading
still she'll lay down her body
covering him all the same
so hundreds of years go by
(the red road carved up by sharp knife)
she's a girl out working her trade
and she loses a little each day
to ghetto pimps and presidents
who try and arouse her turquoise serpents
she can't recall what they represent
and when you ask, she won't know
she will betray
oh virginia
do you remember
when the land held your hand
oh virginia
she will let you back in
oh virginia
you can't remember your name

Amos, Tori Virginia Comments
perfect
The last part when she cries "Virginiiiaaaaaa"...
Dan!!!
IT IS ONE OF THE BEST THINGS I'VE EVER HEARD IN MY LIFE!
Unsurpassed vocals
This whole album is a masterwork of words seamlessly woven into melody. No one composes albums like this anymore.
So faulknerian this song.
This album and From the Choirgirl Hotel one... Thank you Tori, got me off some really bad places...
In the lush, Virginia hills
They kept her as long as they could
'Cause they knew when the white brother found
White shell beads wrapped around her
Skin a life giving river
Her body open as will his hand
And with a 'good bye' there she goes
She will betray all she loves
And even wait for their saviour to come
And in some things, maybe he'll be right
But as always the thing that he loves he will change
From his sunrise to clockwise
To soul trading
Still she'll lay down her body
Covering him all the same
So hundreds of years go by
She's a girl out working her trade
And she loses a little each day
To ghetto pimps and presidents
Who try and arouse her turquoise serpants
She can't recall what they represent
And when he asks she won't know
She will betray all she loves
And even wait for their saviour to come
And in some things, well maybe he'll be right
But as always the thing that he loves he will change
From her sunrise to clockwise
To soul trading
Still she'll lay down her body
Covering him all the same
Oh Virginia, you won't even you
Virginia
You won't even you
Virginia
You don't remember

Saddest song about the "Native American" Indians I've ever heard.
Whenever I'm getting serious about a girl, I play her this song and she better fucking like it.
I love it Mr. Blonde.
Hahaha! Perfection ;)
Maybe you should get serious with me, I never get disenchanted listening to it haha

Just as wicked good as it is alwaysl
Love it! Keep em' coming
