Lyric Debate '07

Hi all, I love the debates on here regarding gramatics, and I appreciate everyone's thoughts and comments. Thanks. Keep it up.

'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 2) BIG WHEEL

I’ve been on the other side/ Got my lips smacked/ Now they’re dry/ Then you/ Call me/ Call me in/ You think I am your possession/ You’re messing with a Southern girl/ But my recipe is on/ With your stale bread/ Yeah it’s hot/ But baby I don’t need your cash/ So baby maybe I’ll let your/ Big wheel turn my fantasy/ Don’t you throw your shade on me/ I’ve been drinking down your pain/I’m gonna turn that whiskey into rain/ Wash it away/ Wash it away/ Wash you away boy/ Let's go/ I’ve been on my knees/ But you’re so hard to please/ Did you take me/ Take me in/ So you are a superstar/ Get off the cross/ We need the wood/ Somehow you will rise/ But with attitude/ I know honey you’re a pro/ But baby I don’t need your cash/ Momma got it all in hand now/ Big wheel turn my fantasy/ Don’t you throw that shade on me/ I’ve been drinking down your pain/ You go turn that whiskey into rain/ Wash it away/ Wash it away boy/ Wash you away now/ Gimme-8/ Gimme-7/ Gimme-6/ Gimme-5/ Gimme-4/ Gimme-3/ I-I-I am a M-I-L-F/ Don’t you forget/ M-I-L-F/ Don’t you forget/ M-I-L-F/ Don’t you forget/ Baby I don’t need your cash/ So baby maybe I’ll let your/ Big wheel turn my fantasy/ Don’t you throw that shade on me/ I’ve been drinking down your pain/ I’m gonna turn that whiskey into rain/Big wheel turn my fantasy/ Don’t you throw your shade on me/ I’ve been drinking down your pain/I’m gonna turn that whiskey into rain/ I’m gonna turn your whiskey/ Boy into rain/ Wash you away / Wash you away boy / Wash you down / Big wheel•

track 3) BOUNCING OFF CLOUDS

Bouncing off of clouds/ We were/ Is there a lone lost-and-found/ Make it easy/ Make this easy/ It’s not as heavy as it seems/ Wrapped in metal/ Wrapped in ivy/ Painted in mint ice cream/ We could bouncing off the top of this cloud/ (I’ve put on my silver)/ Bouncing off the top of this cloud/ Failure to respond worked/ I talked but did you listen/ Bouncing off the top of this cloud/ (I’ve put on my silver)/ Ooh but would you say has it come to this/ (I’ve put on my silver)/ Bouncing off the top of this cloud/ Well you can stare all day at the sky/ But that won’t bring him back/ That won’t bring him back/ You say you’re waiting on fate/ But I think fate is not/ I think we decide/ Where we take our lives/ Make it easy/ Easy/ Easy/ We could make this easy/ Easy love/ Easy/ We could make this easy/ Make this easy/ It’s not as heavy as it seems/ Make this easy/ Make this easy/ It’s not as heavy as it seems/ Wrapped in metal/ Wrapped in ivy/ Big umbrellas smiling/ We could bouncing off the top of this cloud/ (I’ve put on my silver)/ Ooh but would you say has it come to this/ (I’ve put on my silver)/ Bouncing off the top of this cloud/ (I’ve put on my silver)/ Ooh but would you say has it come to this/ (I’ve put on my silver)/ Bouncing off of clouds/ We were•

track 4) TEENAGE HUSTLING

You think you can come around here/ All up in his face/ All up in my world/ You better know/ You better know/ You better know-oh-oh/ How much you do/ How much you do/ How much you do-oh-oh/ You better know/ You better know/ You better know-oh-oh/ How much you do/ How much do/ I’m a joke/ You gotta right/ You gotta right/ To know/ You gotta right/ You gotta right/ To know/ Me and my teenage hustling/ I’ve been working it since I was 14/ Me and my teenage hustling/ I’ve been working it since I was 14/ Me and my teenage hustling/ It’s gonna save me/ Save me/ Save me/ Save me/ Save me/ Save me/ Save me/ Save me/ From your dirty dealings/ You’re a dirty girl/ You’re such a dirty girl/ You better know/ You better know/ You better know-oh-oh/ How much you do/ How much you do/ How much you do-oh-oh/ You better know/ You better know/ You better know-oh-oh/ How much you do/ How much do/ I’m a joke/ Maybe the weight of this accident/ Comes back to your gossip/ With a ferocious strategy/ You play wounded in his cockpit/ But I think that you forgot/ My days of teenage hustling/ You better know/ You better know/ You better know-oh-oh/ How much you do/ How much you do/ How much you do-oh-oh/ You better know/ You better know/ You better know-oh-oh/ How much you do/ How much do/ I’m a joke/ You gotta right/ You gotta right to know/ You gotta right/ You gotta right to know/ You gotta right/ You gotta right to know/ Me and my teenage hustling/ I’ve been working it since I was 14/ Me and my teenage hustling/ I’ve been working it since I was 14/ But you’ve been skanking around/ With your talentless trash/ You only shoot blanks/ At your cock-sure best/ Me and my teenage hustling/ Me and my teenage hustling/ It’s gonna save me/ Save me/ Save me/ Save me/ From your dirty dealings/ Now I don’t mind a dirty girl/ Said I don’t mind/ A dirty girl/ You better know/ You better know/ You better know-oh-oh/ How much you do/ How much you do/ How much you do-oh-oh/ You better know/ You better know/ You better know-oh-oh/ How much you do/ How much you do•

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•
