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
I am ever gonna be myself again
And there's a quiet room, but I can't sleep
There's a dark spooky fall coming in from the street
And when I gasp for air, I stray away to where
There's a soon void for me to share
Wound
Wound
Wound
Soldiers
They hurry around my yard
Ooh, but the only place in the world
Where my senses sleep and my soul leaps
Into solid control
I heard a man went mad
When he checked under his hat
For the peace of mind I never had
And when he found a space
I called the quiet place
He decided to stay
And since that very day
There are wounded soldiers
Who hurry around his yard
Ooh, but the only place in the world
Ooh, but the only place in the world
Where my senses sleep and my soul leaps
Into solid control
Ooh, but the only place in the world
Where my senses sleep and my soul leaps
Into solid control
Ooh, but the only place in the world
And when this peace is all mine
And when I stand still in time
Ooh, but when this peace is all mine
Oh baby, baby, I love it when it happens to me
And when this peace is all mine
I stop and 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 blues.
