Lyrics
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.
