I Can't Hear the Music

Is it a warning

Is it an evil sign

Is it a people who have lost their minds

Is it the darkness

Is it a man resigned

Is it a best friend leaving you behind

Is it a bad day for humankind

Is it a prophet with a one track mind

Is it the finish

Is it a fearful find

Is it the centre as

your world unwinds

And if I can't hear the music

and the audience is gone

I'll dance here on my own

And I'll hope the

lonely hearts club band

Can play out one last song

Before the sun goes down

And there she goes

And there she goes

And is it evil

Should it really make you sick

Is now the time that you realize

you'd better get out quick

And is it envy or

pride that makes them vain

Did you give your all but you're

only small and now your body's drained

This is never going to stop,

they will never let you go

You're in a rush, they don't care enough,

and their lives are very slow

Time is ticking on,

too long to fake a smile

And you've sold your soul for

a leading role and to wear it for a while

And if I can't hear the music

and the audience is gone

I'll dance here on my own

And I'll hope the

lonely hearts club band

Can play out one last song

Before the sun goes down

And there she goes

And there she goes

So round you'll see me run

'Cause Billy's got himself a gun

And you're right to be afraid

They'll send you to your grave

'Cause it's strange and new

And if I can't hear the music

and the audience is gone

I'll dance here on my own

And I'll hope the

lonely hearts club band

Can play out one last song

Before the sun goes down

And there she goes

And there she goes

So round you'll see me run

'Cause Billy's got himself a gun

And you're right to be afraid

They'll send you to your grave

'Cause it's strange and new

And if I can't hear the music

and the audience is gone

I'll dance.
