Awfully Quiet

I like noise, that's why I'm livin' where I am, I 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 fire

Emotions so high they can't get any higher

Goin' out of control in an outta hand crowd

I like noise and it's gotta be loud

Awfully quiet

Awfully quiet

Awfully quiet

It was awfully quiet on the streets yesterday

People on the streets had little to say

Well I walked the streets and barely heard a sound

It was awfully quiet on the streets downtown

Sometimes quiet's okay, sometimes quiet's alright

Given the choice, I like noise, morning, noon, and night

It was awfully quiet and on the trains last night

People on the trains kept the conversation light

I rode the trains and barely heard a word

Quietest train I ever heard

Sometimes quiet's okay, sometimes quiet's alright

Given the choice, I like noise, morning, noon, and night

Awfully quiet

Awfully quiet

Awfully quiet

It was awfully quiet and I needed some noise

I got on the blower called up the boys

I was doing so bad I could barely hack it

They came to my house and they kicked up a racket

Ooh ah

Ooh ah

They turned my place on its ear (ooh)

The boy's began to riot (ah)

It felt so good to hear (ooh)

On a day that was so quiet (ah)

I screamed and cheered them on (ooh)

And I helped out where I could (ah)

And when they all were gone (ooh)

I was feeling good

I like noise that's why I'm livin' where I am, I 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 fire

Emotions so high they can't get any higher

Goin' out of control in an outta hand crowd

I like noise and it's gotta be loud

Yeah it's gotta be loud

Oh yeah it's gotta be loud

Come on it's gotta be loud

From now on it's gonna be loud

Ooh yeah
