You head home

If you like

I'll stay here

Check if he's alright

 He's got his head screwed on

 And he's still going strong

As he cracks a smile

 and he tries to tell me what went wrong

Silence sweeps us off our feet

The violence, oh, the violence

Silence sweeps us off our feet

Silence sweeps us off our feet

The violence, oh, the violence

Silence sweeps us off our feet

It takes two

To get bruised

But looking at that shiner I would say

There were a good few

And his friends have "flew"

'Cause they were bugaloo

Red and blue

Red and blue

Silence sweeps us off our feet

The violence, oh, the violence

Silence sweeps us off our feet

Silence sweeps us off our feet

The violence, oh, the violence

Silence sweeps us off our feet

 And tell El to wait

Until we get him home again

 And let's get you right, get your right

 And we'll soothe your wounds

Once we get you home again

Let's make this right

Make this right

Make this right

Silence sweeps us off our feet

The violence, oh, the violence

Silence sweeps us off our feet

Silence sweeps us off our feet

The violence, oh, the violence

Silence sweeps us off our feet
