Tori Amos (born Myra Ellen Amos; August 22, 1963) is an American pianist, singer-songwriter and composer. She is a classically trained musician and possesses a mezzo-soprano vocal range. Amos originally served as the lead singer of 1980s synthpop group Y Kant Tori Read, and as a solo artist was at the forefront of a number of female singer-songwriters in the early 1990s.

Bang went the gun on their tongue
Word crucifixion toward immigrants shunned
"Immigrants that's who we all are
'Cause we're all made of stars"
You said to them
Oh yes you did

Bang went the universe
Hydrogen lusting for Helium's burst
A mighty Sun's Dance of Death
Exploding Super Nova
One story's end
Seeds another to begin

Then the Heavens opened
And then I heard voices
Joined in Hosannas
Breathlessly I saw your star

So bright it blinded me
I had to shield my eyes
So bright it blinded me
I had to shield my eyes
So bright it blinded me
I had to shield my eyes

And then you took my hand
Oh yes you did

Bang the world now traumatized
By a cluster of hostile humans who side
With their warlords of hate
So we must out-create
With the the Backbone of Night
To Rehumanize

Then the Heavens opened
And then I heard voices
Joined in Hosannas
And their tower of confusion
Could not drown the light
From your star

So bright it blinded me
I had to shield my eyes
So bright it blinded me
I had to shield my eyes
So bright it blinded me
I had to shield my eyes

And then you lit the path
Oh yes you did

"Can't they see"
He said to me
"That we all
Are Molecular Machines"
Goals and dreams
All I wanna be
Is the very best
Machine I can be

Oxygen and Carbon
Part of
Our Molecular Machine
Goals and dreams
All I wanna be
Is the very best
Machine I can be

Hydrogen
Calcium
Phosphorus
Potassium
Sulfur
Sodium
All I wanna be
Is the very best
Machine I can be

Chlorine
Magnesium
Boron
Chromium
Cobalt
Copper
Fluorine
All I wanna be
Is the very best
Machine I can be

Iodine
Iron
Manganese
Molybdenum
Selenium
Silicon
Tin
Vanadium
And Zinc
All I wanna be
A Molecular Machine
