Tori Amos – Silent All These Years Lyrics  Share

From Tori Amos's 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 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 an^, 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 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 ^,til, 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.
Hmm, it^,s your turn now to stand where I stand.
Everybody lookin^, at you, here take^,n 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.
