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.

Cool On Your Island Lyrics
Tori Amos
If you dont
Treat me better
Baby i11 just run away
Baby I dont
Know what drives you
To play these
Silly games
Cmon baby
Im much stronger
Than you know
Sometimes
Im not afraid
To let it show
Chorus:
When will you wake up
I want you
More than the stars
And the sun
But I can take
Only so much
Cool on your island
Is it cool on your island
I gotta
Brand new dress babe
Could it
Make you wanna try
I guess
I didnt want
To notice
The stars gone
From your eyes
Cmon baby
Im much
Stronger than you know
Sometimes
Im not afraid
To let it show
Repeat chorus
We could buy
An airplane
Build a home
In the sand
You could tell
Your secrets
I could understand
But then by the morning
Comes crumblin down
And as your leavin
Wait
Chorus:
When will you wake up
I want you
More than the stars
And the sun
But I can take
Only so much
Cool on your island
Youre so cool on your island
Is it cool on your island
Is it cool baby
If you dont
Treat me better
Baby i11 just
Run away
If you dont
Tredt me
One day
Youll wake up cold
Then youll know
Youll know
Youll know
Youll love me
