Karaoké 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 but I don't care 'cos 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 twenty five bucks and a cracker do you

Think it's enough to get us there

'Cos what if I'm a mermaid in these jeans of his with her name still on it

Hey but I don't care 'cos 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 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

But I don't care 'cos 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
