Awfully Quiet

(专辑： More Noise And Other Disturbances - 1992)

I like noise, that's why I'm living where I am
I like the noise and confusion of a traffic jam
I like the sound of a jet as it's shaking my dwelling
I like raging, rampaging, and screaming, and yelling
Sound of a fire engine headed for a fire
Emotions so high, they can't get any higher
Going out of control in an outta-hand crowd
I like noise and it's gotta be loud!

Awfully quiet
Awfully quiet
Awfully quiet

It was awfully quiet on the streets yesterday
People on the streets had little to say
Well, I walked the streets and barely heard a sound
It was awfully quiet on the streets downtown
Sometimes quiet's okay
Sometimes quiet's alright
Given the choice, I like noise
Morning, noon, and night

It was awfully quiet and on the trains last night
People on the trains kept the conversation light
I rode the trains and barely heard a word
Quietest train I ever heard
Sometimes quiet's okay
Sometimes quiet's alright
Given the choice, I like noise
Morning, noon, and night

Awfully quiet
Awfully quiet
Awfully quiet

It was awfully quiet and I needed some noise
I got on the blower, called up the boys
I was dosed so bad, I could barely hack it
They came to my house and they kicked up a racket

(Ooh)
(Ah)
(Ooh)
(Ah)
They turned my place on its ear (Ooh)
The boys began to riot (Ah)
It felt so good to hear (Ooh)
On a day that was so quiet (Ah)
I screamed and cheered them on (Ooh)
And I helped out where I could (Ah)
And when they all were gone (Ooh)
I was feeling good!

I like noise, that's why I'm living where I am
I like the noise and confusion of a traffic jam
I like the sound of a jet as it's shaking my dwelling
I like raging, rampaging, and screaming, and yelling
Sound of a fire engine headed for a fire
Emotions so high, they can't get any higher
Going out of control in an outta-hand crowd
I like noise and it's gotta be loud!
Yeah, it's gotta be loud
Oh yeah, it's gotta be loud
Come on, it's gotta be loud
From now on, it's gonna be loud
Ooh, yeah...ha
