Tori Amos
The Light Princess
ALTHEA:
The morning
After the
The night before
The story-
COMPANY:
Scandalous
ALTHEA:
Quite frankly I couldn't care less
I'm the most disgraceful princess
Sweet Bliss
Care to hear more?
COMPANY:
Here are shoes
Well they're more like cumbersome rocks
These'll keep her down
Tailored shoes customized with great golden blocks
What were you thinking how did it happen?
They say you danced?
ALTHEA:
Yes an air ballet
COMPANY:
Devil's work you are possessed
ALTHEA:
Oh, I'm possessed
Shock, how amazing
For the first time in my life
I feel great
No wait
I feel one magnificent ache
For the first time in my life
It feels good
Better than good
To be me
COMPANY:
What a rotten stunt
What a rotten slight
What an evil witch
What a horrid fright
Threw her mother’s books
In the bloody fire
Throw me of an out
Throw me of an out
ALTHEA:
The morning
After the
The night before
The glory, the fury
COMPANY:
There are laws, there are taboos
ALTHEA:
Well I broke them and here is the news
Finally, I am truly beginning to feel
I seem to feel liking for swooning and sighing
He seemed to like smooching
Sound all the trumpets a prince
Dropped certain hints
That he likes
Light girls
For the first time I can feel
My legs ache
No, I must say
My legs quake
And I must say
He was one edible
Delectable
Muscular cake
For the first time in my life
It feels good
Better than good
Better than I ever knew that it could
For the first time in my life
It feels good
Better than good
To be me
