Tori Amos - Silent All These Years (Live at Montreux 1992)

Excuse me, but can I be you for a whileMy dog won't bite if you sit real stillI got the Anti-Christ in the kitchen yellin' at me againYeah, I can hear thatBeen saved again by the garbage truckI got something to say, you know, but nothing comesYes, I know what you think of me, you never shut upYeah, I can hear thatBut what if I'm a mermaid, in these jeans of his with her name still on itHey, but I don't care 'cause sometimes, I said sometimes I hear my voice.And it's been here silent all these yearsSo you found a girl who thinks really deep thoughtsWhat's so amazing about really deep thoughtsBoy you best pray that I bleed real soonHow's that thought for youMy scream got lost in a paper cupYou think there's a heaven where some screams have goneI got twenty-five bucks an' a crackerDo you think it's enough to get us thereCause what if I'm a mermaid, in these jeans of his with her name still on itHey, but I don't care 'cause sometimes, I said sometimes I hear my voiceAnd it's been here silent all theseYears go by, will I still be waiting for somebody else to understandYears go by, if I'm stripped of my beauty and the orange clouds raining in my headYears go by, will I choke on my tears 'til, finally there is nothing leftOne more casualty, you know we're too easy, easy, easyWell, I love the way we communicateYour eyes focus on my funny lip shapeLet's hear what you think of me nowBut, baby, don't look up- the sky is fallingYour mother shows up in a nasty dressHmm, it's your turn now to stand where I standEverybody lookin' at you, here taken hold of my handYeah, I can hear themBut what if I'm a mermaid in these jeans of yours with her name still on itHey, but I don't care 'cause sometimes, I said sometimes I hear my voiceI hear my voice, I hear my voice, and it's been hereSilent all these years. I've been here silent all these yearsSilent all these, silent all these years
