Peace and Quiet

Hey there tragic one I saw your ghost in Kensington The sly sentry of the alleyway The wounded soldier from the bad old days And it took me somewhere I haven't been for years and years Old appetites like souvenirs I turned around, you disappeared Into a street steeped in silence A sweet peace and quiet The lights never go down A thousand shooting stars in Chinatown Reflected in your eyes electric-blue A kiss lingers like a deja-vu But all the lovers crash And echo under the overpass They lie pinned beneath their memories A million colliding destinies Stain the street, pierce the silence The sweet peace and quiet We cursed a dishrag sky We vowed to change the weather You donned your widest eyes I said never say never And even though we lied We swore we'd stay this way forever Is it funny how You seem just like a rumour now? A conversation that I overheard The frail echo of a foreign word Is it funny or sad? Sometimes we just walk away No bittersweet remembrance day Why do you think that we do that? To defeat peace and quiet? To cheat peace and quiet? The sweet (you don your widest eyes) Peace and quiet (I'll say never say never) The sweet (you don your widest eyes) Peace and quiet (this time we'll change the weather) This time we'll get it right
