"Precious Things" lyrics

"Precious Things"
(originally by Tori Amos)

So I ran faster
But you caught me here
Yes my loyalties turned

Like my ankle
In the seventh grade
Running after something
Running after the rain

These precious things
Let them bleed
Let them wash away
These precious things let them break
Their hold over me

He said you're really an ugly girl
But I like the way you play
And you died

You wanna smash but facing
Can't stand the noise
This pristine noise
So you can make me run
It doesn't make you Jesus

These precious things
Let them bleed
Let them wash away
These precious things
Let them break their hold over me

No one dared
No one cared
No one knew
No one told me now

With their nine-inch nails
And little fascist panties
Tucked inside the heart of ever nice girl

These precious things
Let them bleed
Let them wash away
These precious things
Let them break their hold over me
