The Roches - Speak lyrics

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
