|
When it begins |
|
Sound rushes in |
|
And drowns out everything |
|
Sideways in bed |
|
You cover your ears |
|
The roar is deafening |
|
When it won't quit |
|
You stagger up |
|
And into the hall |
|
But out there it's louder |
|
It's somebody's party |
|
You start to yell: |
|
"Hey, buddy, hey! Hey, buddy, please, |
|
Would you quiet down? You're killing me |
|
It's 2 AM, I'm trying to sleep!" |
|
But the sound keeps going |
|
'Til the walls are shaking |
|
And no-one answers |
|
Though you keep running around and banging the doors |
|
And it seems strange |
|
There's no-one home |
|
You start to wonder |
|
"Who's making that noise if I'm up here all alone?" |
|
Then the pitch hits and you stop caring |
|
'Cause what was piercing |
|
Is now controlled |
|
And there's no 'who' and no 'why' |
|
And there's no conflict |
|
You breathe it out, you let it go |
|
You start to sing |
|
And when you sing, the sound is gone |
|
And when you sing, the lights come on |
|
And then the doors all open wide |
|
And then the whole hall staggers out and sings along |
|
You rub your eyes |
|
They come closer |
|
It's a party. |
