The Roches - Speak lyrics

rate me

the time has come for me to speak

uh oh the time has come

and while the silence picks on me

I pray to not be dumb

so I am hunting for the words

just wait til I find some

I need some syllables do you

know where to get them from

when I am in my house alone

my speeches take a week

but from my lips when you are near

a sound will seldom leak

when I was a little girl

I coined a mighty text

looking back I blush to hear

what I'd come out with next

is now the time for me to speak

but what if they talk back

o when I open up my beak

I hope that I can quack

and if I do look out beware

the truth is hard to take

A and everything for all I care

can jump into a lake
