Hey Jupiter Lyrics

[Verse 1]
No one’s picking up the phone, guess it’s me and me
And this little masochist, she’s ready to confess
All the things that I never thought that she could feel

[Chorus]
Hey Jupiter, nothing’s been the same
So are you gay, are you blue?
Thought we both could use a friend to run to
And I thought I wouldn’t have to be with you, something new

[Verse 2]
Sometimes I breathe you in
And I know you know
And sometimes you take a swim
Found your writing on my wall
If my heart’s soaking wet
Boy, your boots can leave a mess

[Chorus]
Hey Jupiter, nothing’s been the same
So are you gay, are you blue?
Thought we both could use a friend to run to
And I thought you wouldn’t have to keep with me, hiding

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh, yes

[Verse 3]
Thought I knew myself so well
All the dolls I had
Took my leather off the shelf
Your apocalypse was fab
For a girl who couldn’t choose
Between the shower or the bath

[Chorus]
And I thought I wouldn’t have to be with you, a magazine

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh, yes
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh, yes

[Verse 4]
No one’s picking up the phone
Guess it’s clear, he’s gone
And this little masochist
Is lifting up her dress
Guess I thought I could never feel
The things I feel

[Chorus]
Hey Jupiter, nothing’s been the same
So are you gay, are you blue?
Thought we both could use a friend to run to
Hey Jupiter, nothing’s been the same
So are you safe, now we’re through?
Thought we both could use a friend to run to
Hey Jupiter

About

When asked where did she get the inspiration for the song “Hey Jupiter”, Amos replied:

“I was going through something in my life, and I felt the presence at the end of my bed of a ghost of someone I recognized. I was in a hotel room in Arizona during the Under the Pink tour. I followed this ghost into the bathroom. I turned on all the water…the shower… I let the room steam up…the water became part of the sound, almost like an orchestra…and this ghost drew a picture for me in the mirror in the steam. The way I interpreted the picture was that earth and Jupiter were in love billions of years ago, then they were separated, and now they are billions of miles apart, and this is earth’s love song to Jupiter.”
