Tori Amos - Silent All These Years lyrics

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 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 *years*

Silent All These Years

So you found a girl

Who thinks really deep thougts

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

Cause 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 *years*

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 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 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 *yours*

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 *years*

Silent All These Years

I've been here

Silent All These Years
