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 memory? 
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 band  
will play out one last song 
before the sun goes down

And is it envy? 
Should it really make you sick? 
Is it another time that you realise you'd better get out quick 
Cause time is ticking on - too long to fake a 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 band  
will play out one last song 
before the sun goes down 
And there she goes 
And there she goes

So,  
Cause Billy's got himself a job 
And you're right to be afraid 
They'll send you to your grave 
Cause you're strange and new,

So,  
Cause Billy's got himself a job 
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 danceLyrics of James Blunt
