We're lost in music Caught in a trap No turnin' back We're lost in music We're lost in music Feel so alive I quit my nine-to-five We're lost in music
[Verse 1] Have you ever seen some people lose everything? First to go is their mind (Huh) Responsibility to me is a tragedy I'll get a job some other time, uh-huh I want to join a band and play in front of crazy fans Yes, I call that temptation Give me the melody, that's all that I ever need The music is my salvation
We're lost in music Caught in a trap No turnin' back We're lost in music We're lost in music Feel so alive I quit my nine-to-five We're lost in music
Mmm-hmm, in the spotlight, the band plays so very tight Each and every night, uh-huh It's not vanity, to me, it's my sanity I could never survive Some people ask me, "What are you gonna be? Why don't you go get a job?" Uh-uh All that I could say, "I won't give up my music" Not me, not now, no way, no how, oh
We're lost in music Caught in a trap (Caught up in our music) No turnin' back We're lost in music We're lost in music (Don't take our away our music) Feel so alive (Feel) I quit my nine-to-five (I quit, yeah) We're lost in music We're lost in music (Melody is good to me) Caught in a trap (I'm caught up in it) No turnin' back (No, no, no) We're lost in music We're lost in music Feel so alive I quit my nine-to-five (I quit) We're lost in music (Lost in music) We're lost in music Caught in a trap No turnin' back We're lost in music We're lost in music Feel so alive I quit my nine-to-five We're lost in music We're lost in music Caught in a trap No turnin' back We're lost in music
The Fall
Les money il sur le table Il money il sur la table The palace of excess leads to the palace of Access Hideaway!
Le money Sur la table Hideaway
I'm lost in music Feel so alive Hideaway Sur la table
I'm lost in music Caught in a trap No looking back Le money il sur la table Brick house refurbishment of pubs in the hideaway I heard a voice saying Hideaway
I'm lost in music Caught in a trap And there's no looking back I'm lost in music I'm lost in music Feel so alive I quit my ten-to-five 1 I'm lost in music
I'm lost in music Lost in music Hideaway Snag table top, snag Dip dip dip refurbishment of pubs In the hideaway And then I heard a voice say You're lost in music No turning back Caught in a trap You're lost in music I'm lost in music Caught in a trap And there's no looking back I'm lost in music
L'argent est sur la table Pris au piege Inutile de regarder en arriere Perdu dans la musique Cretin, va te faire foutre!
I'm lost in music I feel so alive I quit my ten-to-five I'm lost in music

MES obviously liked his lie-ins. It’s also “ten-to-five” in the lyrics to “Shift-Work“. ↩︎
