Next To Normal - Everything Else Lyrics
Natalie:Mozart was crazyFlat *****ing crazy.Bat-shit, I hear,But his music's not crazy,It's balanced, it's nimble,It's crystalline clear.There's harmony, logicYou listen to these,You don't hear his doubtsOr his debts or disease.You scan through the scoreAnd put fingers on keysAnd you play...And everything else goes away.Everything else goes away.And you play 'til it's perfect,You play 'til you ache,You play 'til the stringsOr you fingernails break.So you'll rock that recitalAnd get into Yale,So you won't feel so sickAnd you won't look so pale,'Cause you've got your full rideAnd your early admitSo you're done with this schoolAnd all of this shit,And you graduate early,You're gone as of MayAnd there's nothing yourParanoid parents can say...And you know that it's justA sonata away...And you play...And you play...And everything else goes away.Everything else goes away.Everything else goes away.
