Send a message somewhere up there,
Sing the words before they start to fall apart.
Walk the road ahead of where the children play the game,
The name you know by heart.
Visit all the places where the faces of the people
Still remember how the music goes.
Chorus:
Now and then the music sounds a little out of tune,
But all that trouble will be over soon.
Now and never seems to be...
Verse:
In other news, the only shoes you own left town alone
Without you in a private plane.
How's your wife? She's like no other,
She's gone surfing with your mother
In the pouring rain.
Send a message into outer space,
And tell them 'bout the human race,
They won't believe it.
You'll work all day to pay your way,
And still they complain and say, "Take it or leave it."
Chorus:
Now and then the music sounds a little out of tune,
But all that trouble will be over soon.
Now and never seems to be...
Verse:
Sing a song with 90 verses,
Only if the band rehearses before every show.
Many people make a crowd,
Now they're talking way too loud,
I just have to go.
Count the stars above you and know I love you,
Let's keep dancing through the highs and lows.
Chorus:
Now and then the music sounds a little out of tune,
But all that trouble will be over soon.
Now and never seems to be how you and me are.
