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.
