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

Is it envy? Should it really make you sick?
Is now the time that you realise 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 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 won't you run, Yoshimi, run?
Cause Billy's got himself a gun
You're right to be afraid
They'll send you to your grave
Cause you're strange and new,

So won't you run, Yoshimi, run?
Cause Billy's got himself a gun
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
I'll dance
