Silent All These Years Lyrics by Tori Amos

Silent All These Years Lyrics

    Excuse me but can I be you for awhile
    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 for thought for you
    My scream got lost in a paper cup
    You think there's a heaven where 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 blue 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 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 communicate
    Your eyes focus on my funny lip shape
    Let's hear what you think of my 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
    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
