Serenade me with rocks, love
No lullabies through the locks love
I locked myself in with the band

But the music's never loud enough

Decibels in the belfry

Hey what the hell if it helps me
I put a whip to the kick drum
But the music's never loud enough


So you're gonna have to show me
How that dance is done

The one where somebody leaves someone

My orchestra is gigantic

This thing could sink the Titanic
And the string section's screaming
Like horses in a barn burning up


He plays pianos with fistfuls
Of broken Belvedere crystal

And he's trying to forget you
But the music's never loud enough


So you're gonna have to show me
How that dance is done
The one where somebody leaves someone


He's impaling the front row
Fighting fires with arrows

And he'll act like he forgot you
But the music's never loud enough


So you're gonna have to show me
How that dance is done
The one where somebody leaves someone
