TORI AMOS - 16 Shades Of Blue lyrics

rate me

(Verse)

Are you telling me it's over? Disintegrating, lost

And there's nothing I can do

Before you drop another verbal bomb, can I arm myself

With Cezanne's 16 shades of blue

(Pre-Chorus)

As my heart is slowly ripping into pieces

disconnecting from the circuits of my mind

'You'll get over it' you'll say 'in time, in time'

(Chorus)

If the clocks are black

Absorbing everything but

A remembering how we made it that

Clocks are black

(Verse)

You say 'get over it if 50 is the new black

Hooray this could be your lucky day'

But my cables they are surging almost over loading

As you disengage

(Pre-Chorus)

Could your heart be slowly ripping into pieces?

Disconnecting from the circuits of your mind

'You'll get over it' you'll say 'in time, in time'

(Chorus)

If the clocks are black

Absorbing everything but

A remembering how we made it that

Clocks are black

(Verse)

'That's it you're done. You've screwed up your life'

'Before you've begun'. There are those who say

I am now too old to play

See, over there at 33 she fears she'll lose her job

Because they hear the ticking of her clock

At only 15 I said 15, they say her future's bleak

She should have started this at 3

(Pre-Chorus)

As her heart is slowly ripping into pieces

Disconnecting from the circuits of her mind

'She'll get over it' you say 'in time, in time'

Stop Father Time

(Chorus)

If the clocks are black

Absorbing everything but

A remembering how we made it that

Clocks are black

(Verse)

Before you drop another verbal bomb

Can I arm myself

With Cezanne's 16 shades of blue
