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 Your in a rush they don't care enough Cause there 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 ending Should it really make you sick is now the time that you realize You better get out quick cause time is ticking on To long to fake your 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 write Cause billy's got himself a gun billy's got himself a gun And your right to be afraid they'll send you to your grave cause your strange And if I can't hear the music And the audience is gone I'll dance here on my own. Cause billy's got himself a gun billy's got himself a gun And your right to be afraid they'll send you to your grave cause your strange And if I can't hear the music and the audience is gone I'll dance. 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 gonna stop. They will never let you go. You're in a rush. They don't care enough. Cause their lives are very slow. 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 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 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 it's 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 it's strange and new And if I can't hear the music And the audience is gone I'll dance? --- I Can't Hear the Music - James Blunt
