General Joy — текст песни (Tori Amos)

General joy it seems you need

A soldier girl -

Now they have liberty gagged



By boat by tram by motorbus

Could it be the fates are protecting us

From the hawks that have stolen the bird from the sky



And I know

You will always love sorrow

Is that why

You gave her dress to happiness?

`Cause it matches her eyes

When she cries



General joy it seems

You don`t love your bride

Generally

You`re friends but she is not the love of your life



To dye to perm to change your hair or your wife

The posssibilities are there

And it`s time for you to decide



General joy I know I know

You`ll take me there -

But you`ll need strength

From within

General joy it seems you need

A soldier girl -

And a willing coalition



By boat by tram by motorbus

Could it be the hawks are protecting us

From the men who have now assumed their name
