Lyrics (unofficial)
[rev. July 9, 2024]
Your life is a piece of music
You don't know how to conduct yourself anymore
The violins rush in, into the void
I'll pluck my harp but I refuse to join in
Attack, sustain, release, decay
You race to the end and it's drenched in delay
Attack, decay, sustain, release
The tempo is dragging, for God's sake play another piece
This song I sing cost me so much time
I whistle your theme when I'm having a shower
Ominous buzz of a rattling snare
The girl on the French horn smiled sadly at me
Attack, sustain, release, decay
You race to the end and it's drenched in delay
Attack, decay, sustain, release
The tempo is dragging, for God's sake play another piece
You said, "I'd like to meet the orchestra, can it be arranged?"
You were amazed at all the drinks and the cellos and horns
I stood on the balcony staring at the dawn
And it seemed like...
Seemed like...
Seemed like...
