lyrics

do do do do do do, ohhh

There’s a pit-pit patter of footsteps up the floorboards
It gently wakes me awake
The radiators singin'
And the tea kettles screeching
This kind of silence is new

There's a beep up the street like,
do do do do do do
Garbage truck preaching their blues
I’m right at home
Settled as stone
in the loud silence of the city
in the loud silence of the city

So just try and shake me
with your bills and your laws
stacked up higher than God
I'll write me a lick
To the street sweeper’s hiss
Cause, this kind of silence is free

There's a beep up the street like,
do do do do do do
Garbage truck preaching their blues
I’m right at home
Settled as stone
in the loud silence of the city
in the loud silence of the city

Richer than a king
Smarter than a scientist
Fatter than a cat
Fuller than the moon
In the loud silence of the city
in the loudest silence of the city
-
do do do do do do, ohhh (x4)

There’s a pit-pit patter of footsteps up the floorboards
It gently wakes me awake
The radiators singin'
And the tea kettles screeching
This kind of silence is home.
