Virginia Lyrics - Scarlet's Walk - Tori Amos

In the lush Virginia hills 

They kept her as long as they could 

'Cause they knew when the white brother found 

White shell beads wrapped around her 

Skin a life giving river 

Her body open as will his hand 

And with a "goodbye" there she goes 

She may betray all that she loves 

And even wait for their saviour to come 

And in some things maybe he'll be right 

But as always the thing that he loves he will change 

From her sunrise to clockwise to soul trading 

Still she'll lay down her body covering him all the same

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

So hundreds of years go by 

(The red road carved up by Sharp Knife) 

She's a girl out working her trade 

And she loses a little each day 

To ghetto pimps and presidents 

Who try and arouse her turquoise serpents 

She can't recall what they represent 

And when you ask she won't know 

She will betray all that she loves 

And even wait for their saviour to come 

And in some things maybe he'll be right 

But as always the thing that he loves he will change 

From her sunrise to clockwise to soul trading 

Still she'll lay down her body covering him all the same 

Oh Virginia 

Do you remember? 

You won't even you 

Oh Virginia 

When the land held your hand 

You won't even you 

When the Land held your hand 

Oh Virginia 

You won't even you 

She will let you back in 

Oh Virginia 

Do you remember 

oh Virginia 

You can't remember your name
