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 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 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 I remember the first time, Skin on skin 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 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
