I Can’t Hear the Music Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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?
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
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?
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
And there she goes (2x)
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 (2x)
[Outro]
And if I can't hear the music and the audience is gone, I'll dance
[Bridge]
And there she goes (2x)
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 (2x)
[Outro]
And if I can't hear the music and the audience is gone, I'll dance
