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 antiChrist
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 comes
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
to EASY easy easy Well I love the way we communicate 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
