Girl lyrics:
From in the shadow she calls
And in the shadow she finds a way, finds a way
And in the shadow she crawls
Clutching her faded photograph
My image under her thumb
Yes with a message for my heart
She's been everybody else's girl, maybe one day she'll be her own
Everybody else's girl, maybe one day she'll be her own
And in the doorway they stay
And laugh as violins fill with water
Screams from the bluebells can't make them go away
We'll I'm not seventeen but I've cuts on my knees
Falling down as the winter takes one more cherry tree
She's been everybody else's girl, maybe one day she'll be her own
Everybody else's girl, maybe one day she'll be her own
Everyone else's girl maybe one day she'll be her own
Everyone else's girl
Maybe one day she'll be her own
Everyone else's girl
(Rushin' rivers thread so thin, limitation)
Maybe one day she'll be her own
(Dreams with the flying pigs turbid blue)
Oh, everyone else's girl
(And the drugstore's too safe)
Maybe one day she'll be her own
(In their coats and in their do's)
Oh, everyone else's girl
(Yeah, smother in our hearts, a pillow to my dots)
Maybe one day, maybe one day
One day she'll be her own
And in the mist there she rides
And castles are burning in my heart
And as I twist I hold tight
And I ride to work every morning wondering why
"Sit in the chair and be good now"
And become all that they told you
The white coats enter her room
And I'm callin' my baby, callin' my baby, callin' my baby, callin'
Everybody else's girl, maybe one day she'll be her own
Written by Myra Ellen Amos

Tori Amos official bio:
Since the release of her first, career-defining solo album Little Earthquakes in 1992, Tori Amos has been one of the music industry’s most enduring and ingenious artists. From her unnerving depiction of sexual assault in “Me and a Gun” to her post-9/11 album Scarlet’s Walk to her decidedly feminist stage musical The Light Princess in 2013, her work has never shied away from intermingling the personal with the political. Her fifteenth and most recent studio album, Native Invader (2017), was formed out of her desire to prove that “we can out-create the destructiveness that is all around us,” and that same message became the foundation of her second New York Times - bestseller - 2020’s Resistance: A Songwriter’s Story of Hope, Change, and Courage as a potent antidote to our current (inter)national trauma.
A pioneer across multiple platforms, Tori was the first major label artist to offer a single for download. Nominated for multiple Grammy Awards and achieving nine top 10 US Albums, she has had her songs turned into graphic novels and has produced ground-breaking videos throughout her career. In late 2016 she released the title song ‘Flicker’ to the acclaimed Netflix documentary ‘Audrie and Daisy’, addressing issues of high school rape. A noted humanitarian, Tori was the first spokesperson for RAINN (Rape, Abuse, and Incest National Network), which is the United States’ largest anti-sexual assault organization and continues to be on their National Leadership Council today.
