Muhammed, My Friend - Tori Amos

Words and music by Tori Amos

This songs reminds us all of the feminine aspect of religion, even though many have tried to erase it. It's still there, we all know she's there. Except people have tried to deny that. I, for one, am not going to buy into it anymore.

Muhammed, my friend
It's time to tell the world
We both know it was a girl back in Bethlehem.
And on that fateful day
When she was crucified
She wore Shiseido Red and we drank tea
By her side.
 
Sweet sweet
Used to be so sweet to me.
 
Muhammed, my friend
I'm getting very scared.
Teach me how to love my brothers
Who don't know the law.
And what about the deal on the flying trapeze.
Got a peanut butter hand
But honey do drop in at the
Dew Drop Inn.

Sweet sweet
Between the boys and the bees.
 
And Moses I know,
I know you've seen fire.
But you've never seen fire
Until you've seen Pele blow.
And I've never seen light,
But I sure have seen gold.
And Gladys save a place for me
On your grapevine
'Till I get my own TV show.

Ashre ashre ashre ashre

And if I lose my Cracker Jacks at the
Tidal wave I got a place
In the Pope's rubber room.

Muhammed, my friend
It's time to tell the world
We both know it was a girl
Back in Bethlehem.
