Night In Silence
I walk in and he's there
My stomach jumps into my throat
We've been warned not to slack
They're watching us like hawks
Tonight could make or break us
Our usual side by side partnership
Is changed to opisite ends
The next four hours of silence
Are going to make for a long night
But the one minute we meet
In the middle of each aisle
Makes the four hours of silence
Worth while this night
They thought we couldn't do it
We wouldn't get the job done
We'd be to distracted by each other
But we proved them wrong once again
We did a great job
With time to spare
We did what they told us
And then did some more
We showed them
Split us up? Ha
Like they ever could
