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 up 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
You've waited 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 up one last song
Before the sun goes down
And there she goes
And there she goes
So run, you're shaming,
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,
you're shaming,
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
