Of the feeling I'd stifled for
Well the band took their places
And then the caller's voice
Well it rang out beneath the moon
And then the boys took their girls
And they were singin' how do you,
And then the people in the town
said that they'd call the police
If we didn't keep down all this
you know he answered their pleas
And he ran up on the hill just to see
Well he hid in the bushes just
And then we all saw this change
But he was bouncin' to the beat and
started hoppin' on his heels
And then the townspeople asked him
if he'd make some arrests
Could they find peace and quiet
so they could go back to bed
He said if it's peace that you want,
you're gonna find it on the hill
But the si lence that you keep
is the silence that kills
So the townspeople all got
You know they fired him on
Then they asked him to leave and
They said tell us now how do you feel
He said, when the dancers took
Well my heart leapt high and I was unafraid
Of the feeling I'd stifled
