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
