I Can’t Hear the Music

Is it a warning? Is it an evil sign?
Is it a people who have lost their mind?
Is it the darkness? Is it a man resigned?
Is it a best friend leaving you behind?
Is it ever gonna stop?
Will they ever let you go? You're in a rush
They don't care enough 'cause their
Lives are very slow time is ticking on
You don't get a second shot
And when you sell your soul
For a leading role
Will The Lost Souls be forgot?

And if I can't hear the music
And the audience is gone
I'll dance here on my own
And I hope the Lonely Hearts' Club Band
Will play out one last song
Before the sun goes down

And is it envy?
Should it really make you sick?
Is now the time that you realise
You'd better get out quick?
'Cause time is ticking on too
Long to fake your smile
But then you sold your soul
For a leading role, so wear it for a while

And there she goes so run, Yoshimi, run
'Cause Billy's got himself a gun
And you're right to be afraid: they'll
Send you to your grave
'Cause you're strange and new

And if I can't hear the music
And the audience is gone, i'll dance
