Pray for them   I often lose track   So I took a drag   On my first cigarette   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
