Next To Normal - Everything Else lyrics

rate me

Natalie:<br />

Mozart was crazy<br />

Flat fucking crazy.<br />

Batshit, I hear, <br />

But his music's not crazy, <br />

It's balanced, it's nimble, <br />

It's crystalline clear.<br />

<br />

There's harmony, logic<br />

You listen to these, <br />

You don't hear his doubts<br />

Or his debts or disease.<br />

You scan through the score<br />

And put fingers on keys<br />

And you play... <br />

And everything else goes away.<br />

Everything else goes away.<br />

<br />

And you play 'til it's perfect, <br />

You play 'til you ache, <br />

You play 'til the strings<br />

Or you fingernails break.<br />

So you'll rock that recital<br />

And get into Yale, <br />

So you won't feel so sick<br />

And you won't look so pale, <br />

'Cause you've got your full ride<br />

And your early admit<br />

So you're done with this school<br />

And all of this shit, <br />

And you graduate early, <br />

You're gone as of May<br />

And there's nothing your<br />

Paranoid parents can say... <br />

<br />

And you know that it's just<br />

A sonata away... <br />

And you play... <br />

And you play... <br />

And everything else goes away.<br />

Everything else goes away.<br />

Everything else goes away.
