==="Portia" (early mix)=== | |||
<poem>Portia, put your dog into your basket | |||
Deep down, we all have fear; we learn to mask it | |||
Any way the wind will blow | |||
There is no place like a home | |||
Hold me and we'll ride on this tornado | |||
Portia, tell me what has made you so scared? | |||
Who hurt the little, helpless girl in there? | |||
If you didn't know it then | |||
Well, you've gotta know it now | |||
No one can be holier than thou | |||
Down, down, down with the father on high | |||
Down, down, down with the father on high | |||
Down, down, down, tear his crown to the ground | |||
He's the emperor | |||
Without a single shred of clothes | |||
Any way the wind will blow | |||
There is no place like a home | |||
Hold me and we'll ride on this tornado | |||
Down, down, down with the father on high | |||
Down, down, down with the father on high | |||
Down, down, down, tear his crown to the ground | |||
He's the emperor | |||
Without a single shred of clothes | |||
<!--Gregorian chants go here once we figure them out--> | |||
Portia, Portia | |||
Sometimes we have to hurt | |||
The very one we love | |||
Portia | |||
Portia, wrap your body in a cilice | |||
We are strong, even if it's gonna kill us | |||
With a thunderbolt of Jove | |||
Staying true to what we know | |||
Click your heels | |||
And we'll ride on this tornado</poem> | |||
