I like noise that's why I'm livin' where I am

I look like the noise and confusion of a traffic jam

I like the sound of a jet as it's shakin' my dwellin'

I like ragin' rampagin' and screamin' and yellin'

sound of a fire engine headed for a fire

emotions so high they can't get any higher

goin' out of control i an outta hand crowd

I like noise and it's gotta be loud.



awfully quiet on the streets yesterday

people on the streets had little to say

I walked the streets and barely heard a sound

It was awfully quiet on the streets downtown



(chorus)

sometimes quiet's okay, sometimes quiet's alright

given the choice, I like noise, morning, noon, and night



awfully quiet on the trains last night

people on the trains kept the conversation light

I rode the trains and barely heard a word

quietest train I ever heard



(chorus)



It was awfully quiet and I needed some noise

I got on the phone called up the boys

I was jonesing so bad, I could barely hack it

they came to the house and picked up the racket



they turned my place on its ear

the boy's began to riot

It felt so good to hear

on a day that was so quiet

I screamed and cheered them on

and helped out where I could

And when they all were gone

I was feeling good
