When it [bad word] [bad word] 
Just the way you planned

It's funny but the bells don't ring

It's a quiet thing

When you hold the world

In your trembling hand

You think you'd hear a choir singing

But it's a quiet thing

There are no exploding fire works

Where's the roaring of the crowd

Maybe it's the strange new atmosphere

Way up here among the clouds

 
 [bad word] in on tiptoe

Well, what do you know

It's a quiet thing

very quiet thing...
