Greet the Muse
I wasn't expecting you here now,
I didn't think you made it clear.
You weren't meant to be for another year, two, three...
Yet you're here but a year after Plugged.
You're inspiration personified.
Muse, maker and mistress al at once.
I greet you with "Bienvenidos!" and your name,
Smile, wave, hug, kiss, autograph.
Saw her at quarter to four after two hours wait,
Stayed with the Toriphiles I met that day.
Got close enough to say hello and give a gift...
Sang "Happy Birthday" and waved c'ya in a bit.
Three hours later, the sound is starting:
Got the first merchandise bought there that day.
The pre-show is good, but is not enough,
Seven-thirty comes and she's there.
Arrive onstage with a far-off look;
Aquaint yourself with the place.
Fingers on ebony and ivory,
Pound out that sound to the world.
Voice hits the sky and Ears With Feet;
Rhythm moving all who listen...
Fans show like spots on a bright, white shirt,
They're on the lawn, in the rain, beaming.
I greet the muse again
And smile at her thoughts.
She's wearing jeans with an autumn scarf;
Hair is up with a purple bow.
She's called just "Tori" and no longer has fans.
One fateful day she dubbed them Ears With Feet.
They're sweet, wonderful, devoted, kind...
Singing the harmony on "hominy."
Hearing sounds of "To Venus and Back,"
Watching her "Torbiting '99."
Someone's got "Venus Envy"
And we're steady on "Bliss."
Two weeks until "1000 Oceans,"
One moment 'til she hits that note.
You never know how she's gonna be,
There's no comparing her to anything.
Hello Muse... Inspiration...
I meet you again and greet you by name.
I have seen you now...
Life has changed.
