The Domes of Silence (song)

Recommended Posts

Sung to the tune of 'The Sound of Silence'

apologies to Simon and Garfunkal

Hello Cornwalls my old friends

I've come to slide you 'round again

Because a tweeter softly screetching

Made me want to do some tweeking

And the squawker

That was screwed in from behind

Blew my mind

And moved me

With the Domes....

of Silence....

Incessent beams from treble domes

Narrow streams of sound that shone

'Neath the halo of a sweet amp

I turned my collar to the bold but damped

when my ears were grabbed by the splash of a sound so bright

that imaged right

when placed upon the Domes...

of Silence...

And with my new Mag light I saw

Ten thousand Hertz, or maybe more.

Causing damage to the diaphragm,

While I played my CD, "I Am Sam",

People singing songs that Beatles used to do

With Sean Penn, too

I dig these Domes...of Silence.

"Tools!," said I, "my mountain grows

Silence here I do not know.

Hear my music may it reach you,

Take my wallet I can't feed you."

The Klipsch pile I've gathered, I cannot tell,

There's hundreds of those Domes... of Silence.

And the people bowed and prayed

to the artists that were rave

And the songs cried out their warnings

to the throngs that were forming

and the songs said "Words sung by these sophists were written to the beck and call

of Tammany Hall"

and whimper on the Domes...

now Silenced...
