And we were jubilant Willing to pretend We were not losing time Time wasted Like any other day We will make the bed Thinking it is dead It is finally dead The louder I call, the faster it runs The louder I call, the faster it runs The quiet is ours, the work has begun The louder I call, the faster it runs I search for patterns; sense that isn't there You can have everything, and still you have nothing So I take them all apart, and then I put them back Sometimes it takes a long, long, long time The louder I call, the faster it runs The louder I call, the faster it runs The longer the day, the nearer the sun The louder I call, the faster it runs The louder I call, the faster it runs The louder I call, the faster it runs The quiet is ours, the work has begun The louder I call, the faster it runs
