Awfully Quiet - Lyrics by Mighty Mighty Bosstones


Lyrics
(
Mighty Mighty Bosstoens)I like noise that's why I'm livin' where I am
I look like the noise and confusion of a traffic jam
I like the sound of a jet as it's shakin' my dwellin'I like ragin' rampagin' and screamin' and yellin'sound of a fire engine headed for a fireemotions so high they can't get any highergoin' out of control i an outta hand crowd
I like noise and it's gotta be loud.awfully quiet on the streets yesterdaypeople on the streets had little to say
I walked the streets and barely heard a sound
It was awfully quiet on the streets downtown(chorus)sometimes quiet's okay, sometimes quiet's alrightgiven the choice, I like noise, morning, noon, and nightawfully quiet on the trains last nightpeople on the trains kept the conversation light
I rode the trains and barely heard a wordquietest train I ever heard(chorus)
It was awfully quiet and I needed some noise
I got on the phone called up the boys
I was jonesing so bad, I could barely hack itthey came to the house and picked up the racketthey turned my place on its earthe boy's began to riot
It felt so good to hearon a day that was so quiet
I screamed and cheered them onand helped out where I could
And when they all were gone
I was feeling good
