Music Must Change

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Deep in the back of my mind is an unrealized sound

Every feeling I get from the street says it soon could be found

When I hear the cold lies of the pusher, I know it exists

It's confirmed in the eyes of the kids, emphasized with their fists

But the high has to rise from the low

Like volcanoes explode through the snow

The mosquito's sting brings a dream

But the poison's derange

The music must change

For we're chewing a bone

We soared like the sparrow hawk flied

Then we dropped like a stone

Like the tide and the waves

Growing slowly in range

Crushing mountains as old as the Earth

So the music must change

Sometimes at night, I wake up and my body's like ice

The sound of the running wild stallion, the noise of the mice

And I wondered if then I could hear into all of your dreams

I realize now it was really the sound of your screams

But death always leads into life

But the street fighter swallows the knife

Am I so crazy to feel that it's here prearranged?

The music must change

It's gets higher and higher

Smouldering like leaves in the 1

Then it bursts into fire

Its rhythm grows strong

It's so new and so strange

Like bells in the clouds, then again

The music must change

But is this song so different?

Am I doing it all again?

It may have been done before

But then music's an open door

Deep in the back of my is an unrealized sound

Every feeling I get from the street says it soon could be found

When I hear the cold lies of the pusher, I know it exists

It's confirmed in the eyes of the kids, emphasized with their fists

But the high has to rise from the low

Like volcanoes explode through the snow

The mosquito's sting brings a dream

But the poison's derange

The music must change

For we're chewing a bone

We soared like the sparrow hawk flied

Then we dropped like a stone

Like the tide and the waves

Growing slowly in range

Crushing mountains as old as the Earth

So the music must change
