I'm The Girl

I've got a memory

A thousand years old

And I know secrets

I've never been told

And I've got jewels

I haven't found

And they'll return me

To the ground

I'm the girl, I'm the girl, I'm the girl

You know me

I'm the girl, I'm the girl, I'm the girl

You know me

And I'm a siren

I'll wreck you on my shores

And I'm godiva

I'll call you back for more

And I'm medusa

And I'm your favourite doll

And I'm a georgia o'keefe

Hanging on your wall

I'm the girl, I'm the girl, I'm the girl

You know me

I'm the girl, I'm the girl, I'm the girl

You know me

I'm joan of arc

I'm the girl next door

I'm the mother and the daughter

Of the mother and the daughter before

And I remember being born just sound and light

And sound and light and light

And I remember the first time, skin on skin in the arms

In the arms of the night

Well how many times have we looked up into the starry skies

And how many times have we felt the passion rise

Every ruby-lipped girl baby, old lady, squaw junkie, girl after girl after girl

Every muse, whore, good witch, princess, back arching, year after year after year

I'm the girl, I'm the girl, I'm the girl

You know me

I'm the girl, I'm the girl, I'm the girl

You know me

I'm joan of arc

I'm the girl next door

I'm the mother and the daughter

Of the mother and the daughter

The mother and the daughter

Of the mother and the daughter

The mother and the daughter

Of the mother and the daughter

Before.
