Smokey Joe Lyrics & Chords By Tori Amos

Pip I:
Smokey Joe you’re calling at the station
If I kill him there are complications
I did not ask for this
“Oh but, love, yes, you did”
Maybe it terrifies me
This quiet siege
Maybe it terrifies me
Pip II:
It’s too easy
It’s too easy
To wish you harm
It’s too easy
You through black ice
At the bottom of the river
Pip I:
Smokey Joe hey what’s a revelation
“That one’s past is not a destination
It is a road for fools
who need empty approvals”
Pip II:
My dark twin
The annihilating Feminine
Does not need
Civilising
Pip I:
Maybe it terrifies me
This quiet siege
Maybe it terrifies me
Pip II:
It’s too easy
It’s too easy
To wish you harm
It’s too easy
You through black ice
At the bottom of the river
Pip I:
Smokey Joe can you pass the pipe
“You have been blessed now go be wise
It is a coward who will say he’s not afraid
Of dying when clearly he is potently alive”
Pip II:
A songless robin she became
He stole my sister Clitorides
These silken rubber gloves
Choking his vitriolic tongue
Pip I:
Maybe it terrifies me
This quiet siege
Maybe it terrifies me
This quiet siege
Pip II
It’s too easy
It’s too easy
To wish you harm
It’s too easy
You through black ice
At the bottom of the river
Pip I and Pip II:
Smokey Joe is calling at the station
Calling at the station
