Silence In The City

You hope for silence in the city, silence in the street
Oh girl, you're so pretty, from the café where we should meet

Seven coins lost in the pocket and only a bit of rain
No jobs in the columns, every effort in vain

Where the buzz of the saxophone drone meets the heart of the neon fist
Where the booze first fitted like old shoes
Then fills your brain with blurry mist

And the morning shift is passing
And the papers are dropped by
See the colors of busses are flashing
Bringing up the load of the day
Bringing up the load of the day
You can't deny
You can't deny

The hope for silence in the city, disappears through the night
The girl which seemed so pretty, vanished by the traffic light

Where the saxophone player is long gone and you have to admit
That the weight of the waitress is telling you have to pay and quit

And the morning shift is passing
And the papers are dropped by
See the colors of busses are flashing
Bringing up the load of the day
Bringing up the load of the day
You can't deny
You can't deny
