Let's get lyrical, lyrical: Tori Amos - The Power of Orange Knickers

The power of orange knickers
Under my petticoat

The power of listening to what

You don't want me to know


Can somebody tell me now

Who is this terrorist

Those girls that smile kindly

Then rip you life to pieces


Can somebody tell me now

Am I alone with this

This little pill in my hand

And with this secret

Kiss

Am I alone in t
his? A

A matter of complication

When you become a twist

For that latest drink

As that transitioning


Can somebody tell me now

Who is this terrorist

This little pill in my hand

That keeps the pain living


Can somebody tell me now
The way out of this

That sacred pot of red stuff

Could blow me out of this

Kiss

Am I alone in this


The power of orange knickers

Under my petticoat
The power of listening to what

You don't want me to know


Shame shame time to leave me now

Shame shame you've had your fun

Shame shame for letting me think

That I would be the one


Can somebody tell me now

Who is this terrorist

This little pill in my hand

Or this secret


Kiss

Am I alone in this
Kiss


Who the heck writes a song that consists of just one line? I mean who has the audacity to do that? Ooo maybe an orange-haired feline of a singer, hence her choice of knicker-color. Which means if I wrote a similar song, it would be titled 'The Power of Black Grandmother Shorts'. What? Hey don't diss my grandma.

Anyways, yes, just one line. What the heck? Oh, what was that you said? What? Shit, no kidding? More than a few paragraphs? I could've sworn there is nothing after the word 'knickers'. It's hard to notice anything after you've found one. Peace!
