god sometimes you just don't come through
god sometimes you just don't come through
do you need a woman to look after you
god sometimes you just don't come through

you make pretty daisies pretty daisies love
i gotta find what you're doing about things here
a few witches burning gets a little toasty here
i gotta find why you always go when the wind blows
tell me you're crazy maybe then i'll understand
you got your 9 iron in the back seat just in case
heard you've gone south well babe you love your new 4 wheel
i gotta find why you always go when the wind blows

(give not thy strength unto women
nor thy ways to that which destroyeth kings)

will you even tell her if you decide to make the sky fall
will you even tell her if you decide to make the sky

god sometimes you just don't come through
god sometimes you just don't come through
do you need a woman to look after you
god sometimes you just don't come through

"There was actually a part of me that felt really yummy going: 'Ok babe, you're in a bit of trouble. Things aren't going well. Put your feet up. I'll make you a cup of tea 'cause you need some advice. I'm not busy this week so you're in luck'. There has been a shift in the way I see myself. Instead of 'poor little human', it's more like: 'Ok, I'm human and maybe you are immortal, but I know stuff 'cause I'm here, so I do have a perspective that I value. That's really a wonderful place, I think. Humans haven't been taught that they should value their perspective. It's always been so much bowing and scraping to the mythological deity. And I'm kind of feeling like He needs a babe. I'm definitely going after the patriarchy in that song. I'm going after the male presence that's dominated religion and calling forth the goddess to do that. It's a goddess thing to do."

"I was a sunday school teacher. I had the biggest class, I had 70 kids in my class because I uhh wore red leather pants to church. but um, I felt like uhh the one thing that was missing from church was the goddess. so I decided that God needed a little help. And this song really gets me off folks, so bear with me. and He's kinda chucklin', y'know He's right here going "rrmmmmm"."

"I wanted this tribal rhythm. I started this whole song at the pueblo in New Mexico. And so I wanted those primal drums going."
-- Tori intro to song; during an NPR radio interview, Murfreesboro, TN, 1994

"Lemons and burnt oranges would come barreling down the skyway on the draw if the dark grey cats didn't open up and let those girls twirl in their fluffy new dresses"
-- Tori; Under The Pink Songbook
