'American Doll Posse' lyrics

Well all, you've waited for so long now, and though I can't give you the actual music––because Epic would hunt me down and...well...who knows!––I've done my best to get you the lyrics. Let the record state that these are what I hear & may or may not be the accurate lyrics Tori ends up publishing with the CD.



After hearing a copy of the new Tori album multiple times, these are lyrics I've managed to figure out. They're about 94.7% accurate...but we all know Tori-speak and how impossible it can be to understand at times. Honestly, I think her speech impediment just gets worse with age.



Anywho, there are a few words in a couple of the tracks that I really just can't understand––those you'll find in red within the track postings. Some sound like they could be multiple words, and some just don't sound like English! Do with these lyrics what you will. It took some time to figure out, and they are quite accurate! Tori would be so proud...after she got done being angry that I leaked her lyrics. Love you, T!


NOTE: I have not included SECRET SPELL or ALMOST ROSEY because I don't care for either track and didn't want to put forth the effort. Sorry. Also, please feel free to leave any comments or corrections. This is an amazing album, and you're all going to enjoy it! It flows like 'Pele,' rocks like 'Choirgirl,' and has elements of 'Pink,'...and even 'Y KAN'T TORI READ?.'

track 1) YO, GEORGE

I salute to you Commander/ And I sneeze/ Cause I have now an allergy/ To your policies it seems/ Where have we gone wrong America/ Mr. Lincoln we can’t seem to find you anywhere/ Out of the millions/ From the desserts to the mountains/ Over prairies to the shores/ Is this just the madness of King George/ Yo George/ Is this just the madness of King George/ Yo George/ Well you have the whole nation on all fours•

track 5) DIGITAL GHOST

It started as a joke/ Just one of my lucks to see/ If somehow I could reach you/ So I swam onto your shores/ Through an open window/ Only to find you all alone/ Curled up with machines/ Now it seems you’re slipping/ Out to the land of the ravine/ Just take a closer look/ Take a closer look/ At what it is that’s really haunting you/ I hear to trust you/ Not this digital ghost/ Look I fear there’s only so much time/ Cause the you I knew is fading away/ Hands/ Lay them on my keys/ Let me play you again/ I am not immune to you/ And find me there and yet/ I won’t go even if he/ Your heart only beats once/ And switch you on my friend/ Pull you from that wreckage/ But only you can fight against these/ Take a closer look/ Just take a closer look/ At what it is that’s really haunting you/ I hear to trust you/ Not this digital ghost/ Well I fear there’s only so much time/ Cause the you I knew is fading away/ Fading/ Fading/ Fading away•
