Tori Amos – Me And A Gun lyrics

[Verse 1]
5am Friday morning
Thursday night far from sleep
I'm still up and driving
Can't go home obviously
So I'll just change direction
Cause they'll soon know where I live
And I wanna live got a full tank and some chips
It was me and a gun and a man on my back
And I sang "Holy Holy" as he buttoned down his pants

[Chorus]
Me and a gun and a man on my back
But I haven't seen Barbados so I must get out of this

[Verse 2]
Yes I wore a slinky red thing
Does that mean I should spread
For you, your friends your father Mr Ed
And I know what this means
Me and Jesus a few years back
Used to hang and he said
"It's your choice babe, just remember
I don't think you'll be back in three days' time so you choose well"

[Bridge]
Tell me what's right
Is it my right to be on my stomach of Fred's Seville
And do you know Carolina where the biscuits are soft and sweet
These things go through your head when there's a man on your back
And you're pushed flat on your stomach
It's not a classic Cadillac

[Chorus]
Me and a gun and a man on my back
But I haven't seen Barbados so I must get out of this
I haven't seen Barbados so I must get out of this
