Verse 1:
  
I Pray for them
I often loose track
     
So I took a drag
      
of my first cigarrette
      
and I found my head
Roll down the dumps
    
of 27th street
  
I drew a sketch
with lipstick and sidewalk
   
of Newports edge

Legoblock cliffs
       
and an ocean that doesn't
deserve the
          
sounds of silence
I'd swear on a
dead artists grave


Chorus:
    
And I found a spot
          
where the drunk
never got to
   
it rocks me gently
silent silent
   
If I never surface

it doesn't matter

Hold my breath
It's silent silent


Verse 2:

Diligent
Escape by the water
   
Not sick of it
   
It only gets harder
          
That's no excuse
to block all
the cliches and
      
reason for kicks
    
He strokes her hair
both sitting on sand
        
and her shoulders bare
  
nothing to demand of them

laying back on a
lonely stone wall
    
and passersby
     
look passed it all


(Repeat Chorus)


Interlude: --- x2
