Mohammed My Friend Lyrics by Tori Amos

Mohammed My Friend

Mohammed 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 sweet
used to be so sweet to me

Mohammed 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 sweet
between the boys and the bees
sweet sweet sweet
between the boys and the bees

Moses I know
I know you've seen fire
but you never seen fire
until you've seen Pele blow
and I never seen light
but I sure have seen gold
and Gladys save a place for me on your grapevine
until I get my own on a TV show

Ashre ashre ashre ashre
and if I lose my crackerjacks
at the tidal wave
I got a place in the pope's
rubber robe

Mohammed my friend
it's time to tell the world
we both know it was a girl
back in Bethlehem
we both know it was a girl
back in Bethlehem
we both know it was a girl
back in Bethlehem
