Baker Baker baking a cake
Make me a day
Make me whole again
And I wonder what's in a day
What's in your cake this time

I guess you heard he's gone to L.A.
He says that behind my eyes I'm hiding
And he tells me I pushed him away
That my heart's been hard to find


Here there must be something here
There must be something here here

Baker Baker can you explain
If truly his heart was made of icing
And I wonder how mine would taste
Maybe we could change his mind

I know you're late for your next parade
You came to make sure that I'm not running
Well I ran from him in all kinds of ways
Guess it was her turn this time

Time
Thought I'd make friends with time
Thought we'd be flying
Maybe not this time

Baker Baker baking a cake
Make me a day
Make me whole again
And I wonder if he's ok
If you see him say hi

You know, before she got all crazy in a"wow even i'm not that crazy" way, I used to really dig on Tori Amos ~ saw her live during the Little Earthquakes tour - yup - first time she performed "Precious Things" I almost wet myself - I cried. I saw her again when I was living in LA during her Under the Pink tour - again made me cry. But she sorta lost her cool there for such a long time that she also lost me.
But I sang it to my son to sleep tonight and we dug on it.
I realize I have been speaking in terms only of parenthood and all things familial but the thing is that it has become all that I am.
I go back to work on Monday - and I am thrilled to be back in that realm shining in my mastery of all things marketing-like while wrestling with being burdened by the sorrow of not being rich enough to be able to just stay with my cool fucking ass family all day.
But it's Friday night and I regain my perspective daily - our kids are kick ass cool like dat and I don't really mind being old and out of touch when what is IN touch is this...
