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 ghosts come out at night
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
And there's no medicine to cure
This silent solitude
And there's no medicine to cure
This silent solitude
