I Want to Be Quiet
Robert Forster
A facade to the day, a facade to the night
A facade to the outside world
That says I want to be quiet
Don't know who I'm replacing but I know the stance
I'd vanish through a window
Take the curtain if I just had the chance
I want to be quiet, that's what I need
Not this constant volume that brings me to my knees
I want to be quiet
This century will end when Garbo and Beckett are dead
Now they're both dead
I feel alright and I know how little they said
I want to be quiet, that's what I need
Not this constant volume that brings me to my knees
I want to be quiet
I want to be quiet
