Fannish All These Years
to the tune of: "Silent All these Years" by Tori Amos
I think I'd like to watch Scooby-Doo for a while
That dog's real funny and he makes me grin
I can hear my parents yelling at one another again
So I turn it up
I saved the day with my He-Man toys
And all they can say is "that show's for boys"
Yes I know that it's all just made-up and pretend
But I turn it up
And soon "The Little Mermaid"
Will be over, and in just five minutes
My show comes on
Cause sometimes, there are sometimes I'll need to hide
Cause I've been here
Fannish all these years
So they sent me to live with a grandma again
But I'd rather be this girl livin' with the X-Men
Friday will be the last ep of my cartoon
Then what will I do?
My dreams are places where you can't come
I think there's a Lion with my dreams all on
I've spent 26 years in a daydream but it's always enough
To get me through
And soon "The Little Mermaid"
Will be over, and in just five minutes
My show comes on
Cause sometimes, there are sometimes I'll need to hide
Cause I've been here
Fannish all these
Years go by and still I'm waiting
For somebody else to understand
Years go by and Vincent's mourning his Beauty
And I'll fly the starship in my head
Years go by and the Eye of Thundera
Will light the way for one more night
Doctor Beverly
I'll know her forever ever ever
Well I cried at the end of "Avalon 3,"
But I can't make him understand that it's me
He hears what he chooses, and he changes the channel again,
But I was watching
"The West Wing" comes on and I think of the past
Like episodes from a forgotten show
The power of Greyskull was all that we had to trust in
To make it better
But soon "The Little Mermaid"
Will be over, and in just five minutes
My show comes on
Cause sometimes, there are sometimes I need to hide
I need to hide
I need to hide
And I've been HERE
Fannish all these years
I'll be here fannish all these years
Fannish all these
Fannish all these years
