I like noise, that's why I'm livin' where I am, I 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 in an outta hand crowd
I like noise and it's gotta be loud
Awfully quiet
Awfully quiet
Awfully quiet
It was awfully quiet on the streets yesterday
People on the streets had little to say
Well I walked the streets and barely heard a sound
It was awfully quiet on the streets downtown
Sometimes quiet's okay, sometimes quiet's alright
Given the choice, I like noise, morning, noon, and night
ย
It was awfully quiet and 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
Sometimes quiet's okay, sometimes quiet's alright
Given the choice, I like noise, morning, noon, and night
ย
Awfully quiet
Awfully quiet
Awfully quiet
It was awfully quiet and I needed some noise
I got on the blower called up the boys
I was doing so bad I could barely hack it
They came to my house and they kicked up a racket
Ooh ah
Ooh ah
They turned my place on its ear (ooh)
The boy's began to riot (ah)
It felt so good to hear (ooh)
On a day that was so quiet (ah)
I screamed and cheered them on (ooh)
And I helped out where I could (ah)
And when they all were gone (ooh)
I was feeling good

I like noise that's why I'm livin' where I am, I 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 in an outta hand crowd
I like noise and it's gotta be loud
Yeah it's gotta be loud
Oh yeah it's gotta be loud
Come on it's gotta be loud
From now on it's gonna be loud
Ooh yeah
