Tori Amos - General joy: lyrics de la chanson

General Joy I know I know
you’ll take me there
(where your boys were left behind)

General Joy it seems you need
a soldier girl
(now ’they’ have Liberty gagged)

By boat by tram by motorbus
could it be the fates are protecting us
From the Hawks that have stolen the bird
from the sky

And I know
you will always love Sorrow
Is that why
you gave her dress
to Happiness?
’Cause it matches her eyes
when she cries

General Joy it seems
you don’t love your Bride
(that doesn’t mean you’re a bad guy)

Generally
you’re friends but
she is not the love of your life

To dye to perm to change your hair
or your wife the possibilities
are there and it’s time
for you to decide

And I know
you will always love Sorrow
Is that why
you gave her dress
to Happiness?
’Cause it matches her eyes
when she cries

General Joy I know I know
you’ll take me there
(but you’ll need strength from within)
General Joy it seems you need
a soldier girl
(and a willing coalition)

By boat by tram by motorbus
could it be the Hawks are protecting us
From the Men who have now assumed
their name

And I know
you will always love Sorrow
Is that why
you gave her dress
to Happiness?
’Cause it matches her eyes
when she cries
