Silent All These Years
by 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 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
More Silence?
