Radio Paradise (mobile)

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 yelling 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
I think there's a heaven where some screams have gone
I got twenty five bucks and 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
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 hand
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
And it's your turn now to stand where I stand
Everybody looking 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

goozer321 Mar 12, 2013 - 08:52	This song makes me want to find out what happens if you just keep clicking the PSD button non-stop. Will I reach a point where the broadcast becomes live or you run out of songs? [ Reply ]

I didn't like it that much to begin with but now that I can hear her smacking her lips at each breath it is even more annoying. that's the bit that bugs you? Not the guy clearing his throat right at the end, after Tori pauses? [ Reply ]

hippiechick Jun 02, 2012 - 05:33	Love Tori! [ Reply ]
Byronape Jun 02, 2012 - 05:19	The best part of this song was Leonard's into. After that, it went down hill until I had to find something to do that got me away from the computer for a few minutes. This song and I have a bad history. [ Reply ]
whtahtefcuk May 01, 2012 - 11:41	Holy Crap... Tori Amos is just BAD... not the good bad the bad bad. ick [ Reply ]
chelsiaann May 01, 2012 - 11:41	Despite the fact that Tori Amos is 1)strange and 2)sometimes irritating, I really like this song with the Leonard Cohen bit tacked onto it. [ Reply ]
apd Mar 30, 2012 - 18:38	anyone know the story behind this performance? Was Len actually on stage with Tori? Is it his poem? And what made them perform them together? [ Reply ]
