Putting The Damage On, lyric by Tori Amos

from the songs album Boys for Pele

Glue stuck to my shoes
Does anyone know why you play with an orange rind
You say you packed my things and divided what was mine
You're off to the mountain top
I say her skinny legs could use sun
but now I'm wishing for my best impression
of my best Angie Dickenson
but now I've got to worry
cause boy you still look pretty
when you're putting the damage on

Don't make me scratch on your door
I never left you for a banjo
I only just turned around for a poodle
and a corvette
and my impresson
of my best Angie Dickenson
but now I've got to worry
cause boy you still look pretty
when you're putting the damage on

I'm trying not to move
It's just your ghost passing through
I said I'm trying not to move
It's just your ghost passing through
It's just your ghost passing through
and now I'm quite sure
there's a light in your plantoon
I never seen a light move
like yours can do to me
so now I'm wishing for my best impression
of my best Angie Dickenson
but now I've got to worry
cause boy you still look pretty to me

But I've got a place to go
I've got a ticket to your late show
and now I've got to worry cause even still
you sure are pretty
when you're putting the damage on
yes
when you're putting the damage on
you're just so pretty
when you're putting the damage on
