i can't hear the music

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?

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 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. 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 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. 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. and if i can't hear the music and the audience is gone

i'll dance.
