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 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 our 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 realize
You'd better get out quick?

'Cause time is ticking on
Too long to fake a smile
But then you sold your soul for a leading role
So 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 hope the Lonely Hearts Club Band
Will 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 ('round you'll see me run)
'Cause Billy's got himself a gun (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

So 'round you'll see me run ('round you'll see me run)
'Cause Billy's got himself a gun (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
