Let the Music Play

Let the music play I’ll sit here and wait For a failing grade Each passing day Or an evacuation slip Before May the 5th Let the music play I’ll sit here and wait Because there’s nothing I can do I’m stretched out up on a loom People weaving into me The things they want to see And when I snap, then I am useless Let the music play For one more day Before I can’t afford Another word to say Let the music play Before I’m embarrassed Forced to fail for circumstances That I cannot control Let the music play I cannot face the day.
