staring a few inches from the wall
And you're watching simples
by the beginning scroll
It's just a single thread he spins,
it has to break his fall
And si lence is the slowest dance of all
From the green keepers good
morning to the birds
To the father at the funeral
stuck for words
There's a part of us that's confident
Then I pad it out to thirds
Where silence is the
slowest song of all
Silence is the cancer that
wakes us in the morn
Turns our every sen tence into
weakneed and withdrawn
We wish to speak with everyone,
wish we'd not been born
Silence is a deadly dance,
the reason spiders take that chance
Spin that web for flies and ants
Silence is the greatest dance
of all
From the noise of
New
York traffic to
Nepal
From hidden liberties,
peace to barroom brawl
From the silo of supermark to the
white boy on the stall
And si lence is the waltz that grabs us all
From the friendly wave of
posty overhedge
To the two -fingered salute
from brand -new wretch
It could be suicide or window
cleaner standing on that ledge
But si lence is the dance
that grabs us all
Silence is the cancer that
wakes us in the morn
Turns our every sentence into
weakness and we're gone
We wish to speak with everyone,
wish we'd not been born
Silence is the deadly dance,
the reason spiders take that chance
Spin that web for flies and ants
Silence is the greatest dance of
all
Si lence is the mortal knife
that cuts into our throat
Gets a punchline, slices us up,
turns us into the joke
Takes the uncorrupted,
cracks in vampires'
Pacific
Heights to
Rio slums
Silence every once it comes
Across the world the word is mums
Silence bangs the loudest drums
Silence bangs the loudest drums
Silence bangs the loudest drums
Silence bangs the loudest drums of all
Silence bangs the loudest drums
Silence bangs the loudest drums
Silence is the cancer that
wakes us in the morn
It turns our every sense into
weakness and withdrawn
We wish to speak with everyone,
wish we'd not been born
Silence is the deadly dance,
the reason spiders take that chance
Spin that web for flies and ants
Silence is the greatest dance of all
The greatest dance of all
The greatest dance of all
The greatest dance of all
