Speak - The Roches

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
