Aniversário da Tori Amos (V)

Na última quarta-feira, dia 22, Tori Amos completou 44 aninhos de vida. Eu não esqueci, apenas não quis quebrar a seqüência semanal de posts colocando um no meio da semana. Mas eu sei que ela me perdoa, já que hoje, mantendo uma das poucas tradições do átomo que ainda sobrevivem, é dia de foto e letra de música da minha diva, desta vez uma de seu mais recente álbum, American Doll Posse. Feliz aniversário atrasado, Tori!

Digital Ghost
Letra e música: Tori Amos

It started as a joke
Just one of my larks to see
If somehow I could reach you
So I swam into your shores
Through an open window
Only to find you all alone
Curled up with machines
Now it seems you're slipping
Out of the land of the living

Just take a closer look
Take a closer look
At what it is that's really haunting you
I have to trust you'll know
This digital ghost
But I fear there's only so much time
'Cause the you I knew is fading away

Hands
Lay them on my keys
Let me play you again
I am not immune to your net
Find me there in it
I won't go even if in
Your heart only beats 1s and 0s
Switch you on my friend
Pull you from that rip current
But only you can fight against this

Take a closer look
Just take a closer look
At what it is that's really haunting you
I have to trust you'll know
This digital ghost
But I fear there's only so much time
'Cause the you I knew is fading away.

Fading
Fading away...
