Lyrics Speak - The Roches

Speak

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
