Tori Amos - Silent All These Years: lyrics and video

Your mother shows up in a nasty dress
In these jeans of his
Take hold of my hand
Raining in head
To get us there
I got something to say you know
And it's been here
Well I love the way we communicate
Your eyes focus on my funny lip shape
Silent All These Years
Where some screams have gone
Hey but I don't care
Silent All These Years
Years go by
Yeah I can hear that
I got the anti-Christ in the kitchen yellin' at me again
One more casualty
With her name still on it
And it's been here
Hey but I don't care
And it's been here
I said sometimes
Do you think it's enough
But baby don't look up
My scream got lost in a paper cup
I hear my voice
Hey but I don't care
And the orange clouds
You think there's a heaven
Will I still be waiting
But what if I'm a mermaid
Let's hear what you think of me now
Boy you best praya that I bleed real soon

Silent All These...
With her name still on it
You never shut-up
You know we're too easy Easy Easy

Been saved again by the garbage truck
It's your turn now to stand where I stand

Cause sometimes
So you found a girl
Years go by
Everybody lookin' at you here
For somebody else to understand
What's so amazing about really deep thoughts
I said sometimes
Silent All These Years
If I'm stripped of my beauty
I hear my voice
Will I choke on my tears
But what if I'm a mermaid
Excuse me but can I be you for a while
I got 25 bucks and a cracker
With her name still on it




Yes I know what you think of me
Yeah I can hear that
Till finally there is nothing left
My dog won't bite if you sit real still
The sky is falling
Cause what if I'm a mermaid
I said sometimes
I hear my voice [x3]
Years go by
Yeah I can hear them
Who thinks really deep thougts
How's that thought for you

In these jeans of his
Cause sometimes

In these jeans of his
But nothing comes
Cause sometimes
I've been here
