It's empty on the streets by now 
The shops have all closed down 
And people packed and moved away 
Far from this scary town

It's quiet from the bars and clubs 
The bands don't play no more 
Pain always follows joy 
The days go by and I endure

And there's no medicine to cure 
This silent solitude 
And there's no medicine to cure 
This silent solitude 

No lights in any windows 
There's no smoke from chimney pots 
And when the green light turns to red 
There's not a car that stops

I still can here the schoolyard bell 
But there's no kids insight 
The sound of silence is what's left 
When [bad word] out at night

And there's no medicine to cure 
This silent solitude
And there's no medicine to cure 
This silent solitude 

*** Sample ***

And there's no medicine to cure 
This silent solitude
And there's no medicine to cure 
This silent solitude 

And there's no medicine to cure 
This silent solitude
And there's no medicine to cure 
This silent solitude
