Silent All These Years--Tori Amos
Excuse me but can I be you for a while
My dog won t bite if you sit real still
I got the Anti-Christ in the kitchen yellin at me again
Yeah I can hear that
Been saved again by the garbage truck
I got something to say you know but nothing.es
Yes I know what you think of me you never shut up
Yeah I can hear that
But what if I m a mermaid
In these jeans of his with her name still on it
Hey but I don t care
Cause sometimes I said sometimes I hear my voice and it s been
here
silent all these years
So you found a girl who thinks really deep thoughts
What s so amazing about really deep thoughts
Boy you best pray that I bleed real soon
How s that thought for you
My scream got lost in a paper cup
You think there s a heaven where some screams have gone
I got 25 bucks and a cracker do you think it s enough
To get us there
But what if I m a mermaid
In these jeans of his with her name still on it
Hey but I don t care
Cause sometimes
I said sometimes
I hear my voice and it s been
here
silent all these..
Years go by will I still be waiting
For somebody else to understand
Years go by if I m stripped of my beauty
And the orange clouds raining in my head
Years go by will I choke on my tears
Till finally there is nothing left
One more casualty
You know we re too
easy
easy
easy
Well I love the way we.municate
Your eyes focus on my funny lip shape
Let s hear what you think of me now
but baby don t look up
The sky is falling
Your mother shows up in a nasty dress
It s your turn now to stand where I stand
Everybody lookin at you
here take hold of my hand
Yeah I can hear them
But what if I m a mermaid
In these jeans of his with her name still on it
Hey but I don t care
Cause sometimes
I said sometimes
I hear my voice
I hear my voice
I hear my voice
And it s been
here
silent all these years
I ve been here
silent all these years
Silent all these
Silent all these years
