Tori Amos - Silent All These Years Lyrics
Excuse me but can I be you for a whileMy dog wont bite if you sit real stillI got the anti-christ in the kitchen yellin at me againYeah I can hear thatBeen saved again by the garbage truckI got something to say you know but nothing comesYes I know what you think of me- you never shut upYeah I can hear thatBut what if Im a mermaidIn these jeans of his with her name still on itHey but I dont care cause sometimes, I said sometimesI hear my voice and its been hereSilent all these yearsSo you found a girl who thinks really deep thoughtsWhats so amazing about really deep thoughtsBoy you best pray that I bleed real soonHows that thought for yaMy scream got lost in a paper cupYou think theres a heaven where some screams have goneI got 25 bucks and a cracker, go you think its enoughTo get us thereCause what if Im a mermaidIn these jeans of his with her name still on itHey but I dont care cause sometimes, I said sometimesI hear my voice and its been hereSilent all these yearsYears go by will I still be waitingFor somebody else to understandYears go by if Im stripped of my beautyAnd the orange cloud raining in my headYears go by will I choke on my tearsTill finally there is nothing leftOne more casualtyYou know were too easy easy easyWell I love the way we communicateYour eyes focus on my funny lip shadeLets hear what you think of me now but baby dont look upThe sky is fallingYour mother shows up in a nasty dressIts your turn now to stand where I standEverybody lookin at you, here take a hold of my handYeah I can hear themBut what if Im a mermaidIn these jeans of his with her name still on itHey but I dont care cause sometimes, I said sometimesI hear my voiceI hear my voiceI hear my voiceAnd its been hereSilent all these yearsIve been hereSilent all these years
