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 Have you ever seen some people lose everything First to go is their mind 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 (Ooh, ooh, ooh) We're lost in music We're lost in music (Don't take our away our music) Feel so alive (Feel) I quit (I quit) my nine to five (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 (Ooh, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo) We're lost in music (Da la la la la, da da da la la) Feel so alive
