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.
