Amber Waves Lyrics by Tori Amos

Amber Waves Lyrics

    well he lit you up
    like amber waves in his movie show
    he fixed you up real good
    till i don't know you anymore
    from ballet class to a lap dance
    straight to video
    and the pool side news
    was that he would be
    launching you

    [CHORUS:]
    into every young man's
    bedroom - you gave it up
    on dvd and magazine -
    you gave it up
    a private rite of passage
    you gave it up
    to every boy's sweet dream
    with their paper cuts

    you said "he's got a
    healing machine
    it glows in the dark
    glows in the dark:
    you say "there's not a lot
    of me
    left anymore -
    just leave it alone.
    but if you're buy, and you have
    the time, tell the northern
    lights to keep shining - lately it seems like they're drowning"

    he cold light you up
    and summon every swan
    or the lakeside
    off to cabo san lucas
    for some optical stimulus
    then you started to guess
    there was someone else
    though his flint glass
    seeing all of you
    immersed in his sepia

    [CHORUS]

    so i went by -
    cause i had the time,
    and told the northern lights
    to keep shining
    they told me to tell you -
    they're waving
