Not Quite Silence Testo

I walk alone the streets at nightIt's brighter than a day
A million colours hurt my eye
They're each and everywhere
It's been like this all December
Nowhere left to run
Not just the stores and every window
Has a shining sign
[Verse 2]
Trees ablaze with blinking lights
Plastic's everywhere
Everything's a swirling motion
Everything's aflare
A multitude of melodies
None of them for real
Invented for a tiny chapel
Not a dome of steel
[Refrain]
I ask them, 'What about the silence,
what about some creatures' pain?
What about the spirit,
Where does that come in again?
What about compassion,
What about the unseen plight?'
Blankly staring faces
And a choir sings Silent Night
[Verse 3]
Down at the mall, all newly built
All concrete and glass
A giant tree is hung with metal
Tingling as I pass
Noone thinks about its meaning
So it's clear to me
This really is a world-wide contest
For the tallest tree
[Refrain]
I ask them, 'What about the silence,
what about some creatures' pain?
What about the spirit,
Where does that come in again?
What about compassion,
What about the unseen plight?'
Blankly staring faces
And a choir sings Silent Night
