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
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 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 [ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/silent-all-these-years-lyrics-tori-amos.html ]
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
