Light up a cigarette to k** time Pacing this floor another dozen times If there was some way to express it otherwise, I would Fed up on fighting over crumbs and dust Don't have to be this way, a hollow trust If we could find some way to make it right, we would, we would And then the silence came, there was not a word to say One hour felt like a day when the silence came We felt it on our bodies, no way to turn it around One hour felt like a day when the silence came Can't hear nothing but the dripping from the town Blowing kisses, no one to grab Need to organize this life that we have, if we could God knows what we have sacrificed Guess we deserve the days of our lives Wish we could learn how to let things slide away, just for a day And then the silence came, there was not a word to say One hour felt like a day when the silence came We felt it on our bodies, no way to turn it around One hour felt like a day when the silence came God knows what we have sacrificed Guess we deserve the days of our lives Wish we could learn how to let things slide for a day And then the silence came, there was not a word to say One hour felt like a day when the silence came We felt it on our bodies, no way to turn it around One hour felt like a day when the silence came
