Tori Amos - Code Red Lyrics






Some say that I will and some say I won't
Victory is an elusive whore
She is as easily mine
As she is yours

Slip and slide my way through this charade
I know all the players and I must say
Do this long enough
You get a taste for it

I'll do this last one and I'll grow me some wine
Leave them troubled boys all behind
What you stole, I would have given freely
Code Red you're staring Code Red staring at me

Well sometimes he do and sometimes he don't
Sometimes I love myself best alone
Do this long enough
You get a taste for it

A six pack of Coke and a bottle of Jack
"whatever you do" he said "look after that," yeah well
Being trusted and lusted
It could be worse than that

I'll do this last one and I'll grow me some wine
Leave them troubled boys all behind
What you stole, I would have given freely
Code Red staring Code Red staring

Come on baby I can drink you down
Then I have my job to do and do well
Since you won't give guarantees

I'll be cashing out
I'll do this last one and I'll grow me some wine
Leave them troubled boys all behind
Said I'll do this last one and I'll grow me some wine
Leave them troubled boys all behind

What you stole, I would have given freely
Code Red staring Code Red staring

Tori Amos Code Red Comments
  1. K.... P....

    From the very second this song starts ... Even if I didn't know who wrote and is singing it ... That piano style screams TORI AMOS !

    K.... P....

    And super dark ... Familiar territory for Ms. Amos ...

  2. J.... G....

    I loved the hell out of this song yet had no idea what she was saying, THANKS FOR THIS VIDEO!!

    J.... G....

    You're welcome :)

    I think she is saying she is fed up with a mans b.s. She is giving him one more chance and then she's done, she will leave all those troubled boys behind. A man has taken pieces of her and she isn't willing to give any more. She's done in other words. She feels like she is living a lie and the warning signs are there, it's a code red situation. Her womans intuition is telling her she's better off alone.

    TORI AMOS IS SO TALENTED!! This song is on my second favorite album of hers, American Doll Posse. Number one is From the Choirgirl Hotel. But everything of hers is incredible. I think this song is about boys who tried to hit on her, but I have no idea. Tori Amos is VERY thoughtful about her lyrics, this could be about anything...

  4. P.... P....

    I wish.I knew exactly what this song means... It's a great tune, but very deep in my opinion

    P.... P....

    I agree :D

    P.... P....

    Tori is getting better and better and more and more interesting. She's a definite fave.
