Not Today
Tori Lyrics

There was a gambler and a cleaner and a puppeteer
Three people on the bus, one is unique

Only the puppet could explain just what he was
The puppet had something to say that was special

All on a bus we were hoping to pass the time
They were on the bus just wanting to kill time

Plug my piece in boys then we can drink the wine
Let's plug in the music and drink some wine

Drink the wine, drink the wine
Emphasis on drinking wine to relax and forget problems

Well, music, good friends, I'm not dying today
We have music and friends, so why worry about death?

I may be six feet under, full of wonder
Death may be full of wonder (or mysterious)

Today I'm not dying, mister
Not today, death!

Neil is thrilled he can claim he's mammalian
Neil is happy he can be defined as a mammal

"But the bad news," he said, "Girl, you're a dandelion"
But unfortunately, he must deliver bad news to Tori

Dandelion, hey I need to think about that
Tori needs some time to process the news but is intrigued by the dandelion reference

Yeah, I thought about that and I said, "What the Hell?"
After processing, she still can't quite believe it

He said, "Nope, you are Earth bound
He confirms that she is 'of the earth'

Blow them seeds away and maybe one will make a sound
Get rid of those dandelion seeds and see if anything grows

Make a sound, make a sound"
C'mon, let's hear some life happening!

So they got us go, going and coming
They're controlling us wherever we go

'Cause they make us pay if we go or stay
We get charged money for everything we do or don't do

Is he praying that I'll pop my clogs?
Is he hoping that she'll die?

If they can't prove I'm crazy
If they can't find fault with me, then they can't win

By noon I'll be pushing up them daisies
If I do meet my end, they'll say 'good riddance'

Tomorrow, with their doughnut box
They'll just go on as usual with donuts in hand

They'll say, "It's sad she's brown bread"
They'll act sad she's gone, but will they really mean it?

Hey, I got my weapons
But Tori is ready to fight back!

Keep your paws off my ankle straps and my mister
Don't mess with my stuff or my man!

Dying, frying, rather have a lie-in
Tori doesn't want to die or be stressed

I am not blowing that Gabriel's trumpet
She's not going to die today, so no one is announcing the Armageddon

I got my own band to play today
She's got her own story to tell today, and she's going to tell it!
