16 Shades Of Blue

16 Shades Of Blue - Tori Amos

Are you telling me it's over

Disintegrating lost and there's nothing I can do

Before you drop another verbal bomb can I arm myself

With Cezanne's 16 shades of blue

As my heart is slowly ripping into pieces

Disconnecting from the circuits of my mind

You'll get over it you say in time

In time

If the clocks are black absorbing everything but

A remembering how we made it that

Clocks are black

You say get over it if 50 is the new black

Hooray this could be your lucky day

But my cables they are surging almost

Overloading as you disengage

Could your heart be slowly ripping into pieces

Disconnecting from the circuits of your mind

We'll get over it you say in time

In time

If the clocks are black absorbing everything but

A remembering how we made it that

Clocks are black

That's it you're done

You've screwed up your life

Before it's begun

There are those who say

I am now too old to play

See over there at 33 she fears she'll lose her job

Because they hear the ticking of her clock

At only 15 I said 15 they say her future's bleak

She should have started this at 3

As her heart is slowly ripping into pieces

Disconnecting from the circuits of her mind

She'll get over it you say in time

In time Stop Father Time

If the clocks are black absorbing everything but

A remembering how we made it that

How our clocks are black

Before you drop another verbal bomb

Can I arm myself

With Cezanne's 16 shades of blue
