Born Myra Ellen Amos, the daughter of Reverend Edison Amos and Mary Ellen Amos, on August 22, 1963, in North Carolina. She was a piano prodigy from the beginning, playing by ear at age 2 1/2, and writing her own songs by age 4. It's been said that by age 5, she could play anything on the piano after hearing it only once. She won a scholarship at the Peabody Conservatory in Baltimore, Maryland - the youngest person ever to be admitted there. She always ran into trouble there, as they discouraged her from composing her own music.

Blood roses
Blood roses
Back on the street now
Blood roses
Blood roses
Back on the street now
Cant forget the things you never said
On days like these starts me thinking
When chickens get a taste of your meat
Chickens get a taste of your meat
You gave him your blood
And your warm little diamond
He likes killing you after youre dead
You think Im a queer
I think youre a queer
I think youre a queer
I think youre a queer
I shaved every place where you been boy
I shaved every place where you been yes
God knows I know Ive thrown away those graces
The belle of new orleans tried to show me
Once how to tango
Wrapped around your feet
Wrapped around like good little roses
Blood roses
Blood roses
Back on the street now
Blood roses
Blood roses
Back on the street now
Now youve cut out the flute
From the throat of the loon
At least when you cry now
He cant hear you
When chickens get a taste of your meat
Come on come on come on come on
When he sucks you deep
Sometimes youre nothing but meat
