Tori Amos Collection on Letterman, 1992-2009

We have a great program for you tonight.
Terry Garr is here.
Also, a fine actor, Jeff Goldblum is here.
And a very, very talented, very exciting singer making her television debut,
her network, her network television debut here tonight.
Tori Amos will be on the program now with Paul Schaefer.
He's right over there.
Our next guest is making her network television debut, and we couldn't be
happier that it's taking place on our program.
This is her first solo album right here in the very popular CD format.
It's called Little Earthquakes.
Ladies and gentlemen, here she is, Tori Amos.
Tori.
Little finger in the room is pointing at me.
I want to spit in the faces.
Then I get afraid of what that can bring.
I got a bowling ball in my stomach.
I got a desert in my mouth.
Figured that my courage would choose to sell out now.
I've been looking for a savior in these dirty streets.
Looking for a savior beneath these dirty sheets.
I've been raising up my hands.
Dropping up the needle in.
Just what got me one more victim.
Oh, I do it.
Oh, I crucify yourself.
Every day.
I crucify myself.
Nothing I do is good enough for you.
I crucify myself.
Every day.
I crucify myself.
And my heart is sick of being.
I said my heart is sick of being.
G-A-M-G.
G-A-M-G.
Please be saved and he lies.
Cry high.
Ah, ah, ah.
Looking for a savior in these dirty streets.
Looking for a savior beneath these dirty sheets.
I've been raising up my hands.
Drop another needle in.
Away those angels when you need them.
Oh, I do it.
I crucify yourself.
Love every day.
I crucify myself.
And nothing I do is good enough for you.
I crucify myself.
Love every day.
I crucify myself.
My heart is sick of him.
I see my heart is sick of him.
G-A-M-G.
G-A-M-G.
Oh, yeah.
G-A-M-G.
G-A-M-G.
G-A-M-G.
I'm never going back again.
Oh, to crucify myself.
Again, you know.
I'm never going back again.
To crucify myself.
Oh, believe me.
And I am here.
Oh, great job.
Good to meet you.
Come back and do the whole album for us.
Yeah.
All right?
We got to go, folks.
We're late.
Good night, everybody.
You know, whenever we have that wide shot of the theater
that we just had a couple of seconds ago,
did we see that again?
It looks like the price is right.
Yes.
Hey, hey, Dave's giving away cars.
A few years back, our next guest made her national television debut with us,
and now she is a huge star.
This is her newest CD called Under the Pink,
and oddly enough, it was Under the Coffee.
Wow.
Ladies and gentlemen, it's my pleasure to welcome back to the program Tori Amos.
Tori.
Hi.
I never was a cool playing girl.
I thought there was a good solution, hanging with the razor and girl.
She's going to the other side, giving her seokey love.
Things are getting kind of gross, and I know it's sleepy dice.
This is not really the other side, this is not really up on a high.
You bet you're liking it.

Sick. Holding on to his picture. Dressing up every day. I want to smash the
face of those beautiful boys. Those Christian boys. So you can make me. That
doesn't make you Jesus.
These precious things. Let them break the hold of me.
In my pink party dress. No wonder. No one cared to tell me.
Oh, yeah. We were pretty girls. Oh. Those dimly guys. With their nine-inch
names. And little flashes pennies tucked inside the heart of every nice girl.

Wow. Whoa. Hey. Our next guest made her network television debut with us four
years ago. Is that possible? Was it four years ago? Is that true four years ago?
Has it been that long? I guess so.
We're always very happy when she finds time in her schedule to come back and
say hello to us. Her latest CD is entitled Boys for Pele. And tomorrow she
begins her North American tour.
Ladies and gentlemen, please say hello and goodbye to Tori Amos. Tori!
Mohamed, my friend, my friend. It's time to tell the world. We both know it was
a girl back in Bethlehem. And on that fateful day when she was crucified, she
wore she'll say to red and we drank tea by her side.
Sweet. Sweet. Sweet. Sweet. Sweet. You used to be so sweet to me. Well.
Mohamed, my friend. I'm getting very scared. Teach me how to love my brothers
who don't know the law.
Oh, and what about the deal. Oh, and what about the deal. On the flying trapeze.
Got a peanut butter hand. But honey, do drop in. At the do drop in. I said
sweet, sweet, sweet. Sweet. Yes. Between the boys and the bees. Sweet, sweet,
sweet.
Sweet, sweet. Sweet, sweet. Between the boys and the bees. Sweet, sweet, sweet.
Between the boys and the bees. Yes.
And Moses, I know. I know you've seen fire. But you've never seen fire. Until
you've seen Pele blow. And I've never seen light.
But I sure have seen good. And glad to save a place for me on your grapevine.
Until I get my own honey TV show.
Oh, I sure, I sure, I sure, I sure, I sure, I sure, I sure. And if I lose my
cracker jacks at the tidal wave. I got a place in the pub's rubber robe. I said,
Mohammed, my friend. It's time to tell the world.
We both know it's time to tell the world. We both know it was a girl. Back in
Bethlehem. We both know it was a girl. Back in Bethlehem.

Here, here, silent all these years, silent all these years go by
Will I still, will I still be waiting to understand?
Years go by, first trip to my beauty and the orange clouds raining in my head
Years go by while I chunk all my tears still, finally, there is nothing left
