Píseň: Silent All These Years

Interpret:
Tori Amos
Album:
Little Earthquakes
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 thought 
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 bucks and a cracker 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 too easy easy easy 
well I love the way we com- municate
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 looking at you here take hold of my hand 
yeah I can hear them
