Lyrics for 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.
