Jukebox of Bad News
Dancing to Desolation: Jukebox's Melancholic Tune
Lyrics
I came out a lady
I was born as a lady
On that bitter night
On a night filled with bitterness
When the music started to sway just right
When the music began to move perfectly
And people were dancing
People were dancing
To the jukebox of bad news
To the jukebox playing sad songs
I was so lonesome
I felt very lonely
And I sang the blues
And expressed my feelings through blues music
As the hues above were tainted, too
The sky above was also tainted with negative emotions
Yet people were dancing
Yet people continued to dance
To the jukebox of bad news
To the jukebox playing sad songs
But for refuge and for leisure
Seeking shelter and entertainment
Oh nothing lasts forever
Nothing remains permanent
Though the sullen make a mighty show
Even though the gloomy atmosphere is powerful
I feel the moon shifting
I sense a change in the atmosphere
Emotion is drifting
Emotions are shifting
For those who see the dove but not the crow
Some notice the positive (dove) but not the negative (crow)
Darling, it's sickening
Dear, it's disheartening
The things you profit off
Profiting from undesirable things
How you fit emotion in a plastic box
Framing emotions in a superficial way
For people to gawk at
For people to stare at
As they slowly back away
As they slowly distance themselves
But for freedom or for nothing
Whether for freedom or for nothing
You always pay for something
There's always a cost
And the fee ensures a mighty blow
The price brings a significant impact
This falsehood they're tending
The falsehood they are nurturing
Breeds doom that's impending
Leads to impending doom
The haze is thinning and I've gotta go
The confusion is clearing, and I must leave
They grab a
They collect
Penny here
A small amount here
A penny there
A small amount there
Anything that they can spare
Anything they can spare
Cause the jukebox will be there
Because the jukebox will persist
Another day
Another day will come
