Silent All These Years

Lyrics：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 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 yours 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 25 bucks and a cracker do you think it's enough
To get us there

Cos' 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 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 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
It's your turn now to stand where I stand
Everybody lookin' 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

抱歉我能否扮演你一會兒只要你坐好我的狗就不開口
廚房裡的怪教徒又對著我吼Yeah　我聽見了
垃圾車再次救了我有話要說卻又說不出口
我知道自己在你眼中的樣子你從不住口Yeah　我聽見了
如果我是只美人魚穿他的牛仔褲上面還留著她的名
但我不在乎因為有時候我是說有時候我聽見自己的聲音縈繞在此已沉默多年
這麼說你找到那個心思復雜的女孩了心思復雜有什麼好訝異
男孩你最好祈禱我的血流的快你覺得這個念頭怎樣我的吶喊消失在紙杯中
你認為吶喊消失的地方就有天堂我有25塊錢和一塊餅乾你想這夠帶我們到天堂嗎
時光流逝我還會等待嗎等待能有個人了解我
時光流逝如果我美貌不再我的世界也會慘澹一片*
時光流逝我會哽住淚水直到什麼也不剩又一個受害者
你知道我們都太容易受傷我愛極我們溝通的方式
你的眼盯著我奇怪的唇形看現在來聽聽你對我的看法但寶貝別抬頭看天空就要低垂
你媽媽穿著一件髒衣服出現現在輪到你嚐嚐我的滋味了
每個人都在看你來別介意握住我的手Yeah　我聽見他們說
如果我是只美人魚穿他的牛仔褲上面還留著她的名
但我不在乎因為有時候我是說有時候我聽見自己的聲音縈繞在此已沉默多年
