SWEET THE STING with a strut
into the room with this hat cocked
sure defiantly he said "I, I have heard.
that you can play the way I like it to be
played." I said, "I can play, anyway that you
want. But first I want. I want to know Baby is
it Sweet Sweet Sweet the String is it real this
infusion- can it heal where others before have failed?
If so then somebody Shake Shake Shake me sane 'cause
I am inching ever closer to the tip of this scorpion's tail"
He said "I laid my weapons down with my pistol fully
loaded, a hunted man to my root, will it end or begin in
your cinnabar juice?" is it Sweet Sweet Sweet your
Sting is it real your infusion can it heal where
others before have failed? If so then somebody
Shake Shake Shake me sane 'cause I am
inching ever closer to the tip of this
scorpion's tail Love let me breathe
breathe you in melt the confusion
until there is there is you - union
Here's Tori's description of it:
"Elixirs and Herbs is a place that the passion that this woman has for her beliefs or the man that she loves, for the direction that humanity is going, is very much where she is exploring and allowing herself not only to heal what are wounds, but to allow her wounds to express themselves and this doesn't always have to be a place of victimization this sometimes is a place of being able to confront something that is out of balance and it is an ancient practice that the Bee shaman have been working with for thousands of years they work with a tradition that forces you to look at those places that may need to be stung and there's a song on this record in the Herbs and Elixirs garden called Sweet The Sting and in order for you or I to gain the sweetness, wisdom does not come without the sting."

"Yesterday I spent hours on 'Sweet the Sting'; from playing the piano riff over and over to listening to it on my crap tape recorder, to masking changes and incorporating them. The story started evolving soon after the B3 Hammond organ, whom I have named 'Big Momma," was delivered. Everytime I entered the room in the morning to begin my practice time, Big Momma would be humming. Yes, of course her power had been left on, but I'm talking about the kind of humming you detect in a girlfriend after she's had a romantic evening. Turns out Big Momma has a boyfriend. Another organ, specifically another B3 organ. This romance led me to the story of two B3 players, one female, the other male, whose erotic dance revolves around each impressing the other by how well they play their own organ."
