[Verse 1:]

Words called out of a car

Hold a sticky weight

That clings to your shoulders and your mind

The car could crush you

Or follow you home

But it still words

Its will words that somehow manage to do both

{Chorus 1:]

You walk ahead despite his 'compliments'

He defensively calls them

So you may live

So may live safe interrupted

So you may live

So you may live without concern for your body

They won't give you that

Won't give you that living license


[Verse 2:]

I've called words that way

More than what they're worth

And I've called them a lot closer to your ear

You can't blow me off

When I'm lying in your bed

You know its hard not to believe your own boyfriend


[Chorus 2:]

You move along make moves to live despite his unwanted advance

So you can be

So you can be in love and safe

So you may sleep

So you may sleep without aiding your patterns

It won't bring you that

Won't break that on your license


[Interlude:]

Lo lo lo lo lo

Lo lo lo lo lo

Lo lo lo lo lo

Lo lo lo lo lo


[Bridge:]

Where do we bark our orders?

In our roads or in our sheets?

I've been louder in the latter

I've stayed quiet on the streets


[Outro:]

Quiet on the streets

Quiet on the streets

Quiet on the streets

Quiet on the streets
