Verse 2

On a quiet night

Time hangs heavy in the air just like a cloud

I'm lying on my bed

Scratching my head, wondering what it's about

Chorus 2

Are we all minstrels

Playing in a three-ring circus

Searching for a purpose that's not there

Silently, silently (silently)

So silently (so silently, so silently, so silently)

Bridge

D♯7 Everybody's tG♯mhinking

Gotta F♯get ahead, gotta get ahBead

D♯7 Everybody's dG♯mrinking

F♯Hurrying, worrying, pAlaying the game

All aG♯mcting the same

As BI look oAut through my G♯mwindowF♯mpane

Verse 3

On a quiet night

The wind, it can play tricks on your ear

Like some unsolved mystery

We all guess at the ending, but nobody comes near

[repeat chorus 2]
