Lyrics:

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, You know me



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'Keeffe 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, You know me



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, You know me



I'm Joan of Arc, I'm the girl next door

I'm the mother and the daughter

of the mother and the daughter

the mother and the daughter

of the mother and the daughter before
