General Joy Lyrics - The Beekeeper - Tori Amos

General Joy, I know, I know you'll take me there 

Where your boys were left behind 

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 

That doesn't mean you're a bad guy 

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 possibilities are there 

And it's time for you to decide 

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, 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 

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 

'Cause it matches her eyes when she cries
