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 you 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 another time that you realise
you'd better get out quick
Cause time is ticking on
too long to fake a smile
But then you sell 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
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, '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 you're strange and new
And if I can't hear the music
and the audience is gone
I'll dance
