Oysters

Oysters - Tori Amos

So can these shoes take me to

Who I was before

I was stabbing my sticks into

A vulnerable earth

And I can almost out run you

And those stalking memories

Did I somehow become you

Without realizing

Found a little patch of heaven now

So then I'm gonna turn oysters in the sand

'Cause I'm working my way back

I'm working my way back to me again

Not every girl is a pearl

With these ruby slippers

With these ruby slippers

So then I'm gonna turn oysters in the sand

In the sand in the sand

Turn

Turn

Turn

And there are forces of conflict

Taking portions of my mind

In whose realm laced with trickery

The fragments I must find

And I can almost out run you

And those stalking memories

Did I somehow become you

Without realizing

Found a little patch of heaven now

So then I'm gonna turn oysters in the sand

'Cause I'm working my way back

I'm working my way back to me again

Not every girl is a pearl

With these ruby slippers

With these ruby slippers

So then I'm gonna turn oysters in the sand

In the sand Turn

Turn turn turn

Not every girl is popular

Popular

Popular

Not every girl is a pearl

With these ruby slippers

With these ruby slippers

So then I'm gonna turn oysters in the sand

In the sand

In the sand

Turn
