re: Best line or two of lyrics ever....

If you negotiate the minefields in the drive
And cheat the dogs, and beat the cold electronic eyes
And if you make it past the shotguns in the hall
Dial the combination... open the priesthole... and if I'm in, I'll tell you what's behind the wall
------------------------------------------------

Can you see you days blighted by darkness?
Is it true you beat your fists on the floor?
Stuck in a world of isolation, while the ivy grows
over the door
So I open my door to my enemies
And I ask could we wipe the slate clean
But they tell me to please go frick myself
You know you just can't win
------------------------------------------------

Hello darkness, my old friend,
I've come to talk with you again,
Because a vision softly creeping,
Left its seeds while I was sleeping,
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence.

In restless dreams I walk alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone,
'Neath the halo of a street lamp,
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence.

And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more.
People talking without speaking,
People hearing without listening,
People writing songs that voices never share
And no one dared
Disturb the sound of silence.

"Fools" said I,"You do not know
Silence like a cancer grows.
Hear my words that I might teach you,
Take my arms that I might reach you."
But my words like silent raindrops fell,
And echoed
In the wells of silence

And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made.
And the sign flashed out its warning,
In the words that it was forming.
And the signs said, 'The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls.
And whisper'd in the sounds of silence.
