Pray for them   I often loose track   So I took a drag   of my first cigarrette   and I found my head   Roll down the dumps   of twenty seventh street      I drew a sketch   with lipstick and sidewalk   of Newports edge   Legoblock cliffs    and an ocean that doesn't   deserve the sounds of silence   I'd swear on a dead artists grave      I found a spot    where the drunk never got to   And it rocks me gently silent, silent   If I never surface    then it doesn't matter   Hold my breath    It's silent, silent, now      Diligent    Escape 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      I found a spot    where the drunk never got to   And it rocks me gently silent, silent   If I never surface    then it doesn't matter   Hold my breath    It's silent, silent      [guitar solo]      I found a spot    where the drunk never got to   It rocks me gently silent, silent   If I never surface    then it doesn't matter   Hold my breath    It's silent, silent, now
