Silent All These Years Lyrics - Little Earthquakes - 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 yelling 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

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

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 

I 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? 

'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 years 

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 hand 

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 

And it's your turn now to stand where I stand 

Everybody looking 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
