Текст песни Silent All These Years, 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 buck and a craker
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
