Me And A Gun
by Tori Amos
5 am friday morning thursday night far from
sleep
i'm still up and driving can't go home obviously
so i just change direction cause they'll soon know where i
live
and i wanna live got a full tank and some
chips
it was me and a gun and a man on my back
and i sang "holy holy" as he buttoned down his pants
you can laugh it's kinda funny the things you think at times
like these
like i haven't seen barbados so i must get out of this
me and a gun and a man on my back
but i haven't seen barbados so i must get out of this
yes i wore a slinky red thing does that mean i should spread
for you your friends your father mr. ed
and i know what this means me and jesus a few years back used
to hang and he said "it's your choice babe, just remember
i don't think you'll be back in three days time so you choose
well"
tell me what's right, is my right
to be on my stomach in fred's seville
and do you know carolina where the biscuits are soft and
sweet
these things go through your head when there's a man on
your back
and you're pushed flat on you stomach it's not a classic
cadillac
me and a gun and a man on my back
but i haven't seen barbados so i must get out of this.

In the song I say it was Me and a Gun
but it wasn't a gun. It was a knife he had. And the idea was
to take me to his friends and cut me up, and he kept telling
me that, for hours. And if he hadn't needed more drugs I would
have been just one more news report, where you see the parents
grieving for their daughter. And I was singing hymns, as I
say in the song, because he told me to. I sang to stay alive.
Yet I survived that torture, which left me urinating all over
myself and left me paralyzed for years. That's what that night
was all about, mutilation, more than violation through sex.
