The Quiet Place In My City Mind

Zita Swoon


There's a quiet place in my city mind 
I drift out there from time to time 
Like when I don't know how 
And when I don't know when 

There's a quiet room 
But I can't sleep 
There's a dark spooky fog coming in from the street 
And when I gasp for air 
I stray away to where 
There's a soothing void for me to share 

Wounded soldiers 
Hurry around my yeard 
O but the only place in the world 
Where my senses sleep 
And my soul leaps 
Into solid control 

I heared a man went mad 
When he checked under his hat 
For the piece of mind that he never had 
And when he found the space 
They call the quiet place 
He decided to stay 
And since that very day 

There are wounded soldiers 
That hurry around his yard 
O but the only place in the world 
Where my senses sleep 
And my soul leaps 
Into solid control 

Istop I do not return 
I try not to become frightened of the light 

It's like an aspirin for blues 
Like an umbrella for dark moods 

And when this peace is all mine 
And when I stand still in time 
Oh baby baby I love it when 
that happens to me 
And when this peace is all mine 
And when I stop and look behind 
Girl if I would loose you would I cry?
