Ive got a memory
A thousand years old
And I know secrets
Ive never been told

And Ive got jewels
I havent found
And theyll return me
To the ground

Im the girl, Im the girl, Im the girl
You know me
Im the girl, Im the girl, Im the girl
You know me

And Im a siren
Ill wreck you on my shores
And Im godiva
Ill call you back for more

And Im medusa
And Im your favourite doll
And Im a georgia okeefe
Hanging on your wall

Im the girl, Im the girl, Im the girl
You know me
Im the girl, Im the girl, Im the girl
You know me

Im joan of arc
Im the girl next door
Im 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 light
And I remember the first time, skin on skin in the arms
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

Im the girl, Im the girl, Im the girl
You know me
Im the girl, Im the girl, Im the girl
You know me

Im joan of arc
Im the girl next door
Im the mother and the daughter
Of the mother and the daughter
The mother and the daughter
Of the mother and the daughter
The mother and the daughter
Of the mother and the daughter
Before.
