Pray for them I often lose track So I took a drag On my first cigarrette And I found my head Roll down the dumps Of 27th Street I drew a sketch With lipstick and sidewalk Of Newports edge Lego block cliffs And an ocean that doesn't Deserve the sounds of silence I'd swear on a dead artists grave That I found a spot Where the drunk never got to It rocks me gently silent, silent If I never surface It doesn't matter Hold my breath It's silent, silent Diligent They skate by the water Not sick of it It only gets harder That's no excuse To block all the cliches and Reason for kicks He strokes her hair Both sitting on sand And her shoulders bare Nothing to demand of them Laying back on a lonely stone wall And passersby look passed it all Then I found a spot Where the drunk never got to It rocks me gently silent, silent If I never surface It doesn't matter Hold my breath It's silent, silent I found a spot That the drunk never got to It rocks me gently silent, silent If I never surface It doesn't matter Hold my breath It's silent, silent now
