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 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'll 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 realize 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 awhile.
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.
