Music Is The Message

copyright © LOUIE FLECK 2/23/91

I fought my way back, it's too late 'cause I'm awake
It's no small comfort, that the eggshell didn't break
This heart is heavy now, insecurity weighs me down
In time, I'll come around, music is the message now.

How well you live your life, I can barely tell wrong from right
But, I know when I see the light, music is the message now
Out of sorts and out of place, if you really want to help,
Would you turn up the bass! Drum and bass in your face,
Music is the message now.

This battle you can't win, to lose is no great sin
As long as you let me in, there's faith and there's slow healing
There's a tune & there's a beat and a dance step to repeat
And the moment is complete, music is the message now

On the radio there's a dial that hasn't been used in a while
I'm no fool & you're no child, are you gonna get to it?
Before you blow a fuse, put on, put on your dancing shoes
You've got no time to lose, music is the message now.

How well you live your life, I can barely tell wrong from right
But, I know when I see the light, music is the message now
Out of sorts and out of place, if you really want to help,
Would you turn up the bass! Here is the time, now is the place
Music is the message now.

Until you're on the track, this train ain't coming back
I've seen my share of that and this is more revealing
You're coming 'round the bend, 'Though I can't see the end
One day that heart will mend 'cause this is just a feeling...

(What won't heal, you can erase)
