No Noise

More than once in a while

No matter how good you feel

Someone comes along

So loud they spoil your fun

That's when you can decide

To stand back and step aside

And lose that big beat

It keeps them marching in time

Tranced out and powered down

Death to the threats of the decibel plot

Let them scream on without you

Just turn away, hear them calling your bluff

Your date with no noise is

Long overdue

("Oh, no noise")

No noise, we'll reconnect

All of the fragments that you call your life

Pieces that once fit

Broken apart by the pounding of drums

That's when you must decide

To stand back and step aside

Then lose that big beat

The one that keeps them marching in time

Tranced out and powered down

Death to the threats of the decibel plot

Let them scream on without you

Just turn away, hear them calling your bluff

Your date with no noise is

Long overdue

("I sure as fuck hope it recorded that time")
