The Quiet Sound

Midnight train

Watch this dead town speed on by

Something AM

Same old rain falls around suburbia

Sweet escape

Getting closer to the noise

I hear in my skull each day

Somewhere in the new moonlight

There’s a place deep and down

Can you hear the quiet sound?

Where my lungs are consumed

By the smell of cheap perfume

In this dive I’m more alive

Dead-end paradise

I hear it now

The quiet sound

Empty street

Ears are ringing

Voice is gone

Too much singing

Morning train

Comes to take me home again

When I need something to feel

I just follow the tracks

I go down down down

Without looking back

I hear the hum and the hiss

Of subterranean bliss

Take me down down down

For that midnight kiss

In this dive I’m so alive

Dead-end paradise

I hear it now

The quiet sound
