Everything Else Lyrics

NATALIE
Mozart was crazy
Flat f*cking crazy
Batshit I hear

But his music's not crazy, it's balanced, it's nimble
It's crystaline clear
There's harmony, logic, you listen to these
You don't hear his doubts, or his debts, or disease
And you scan through the score
And put fingers on keys
And 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 strings or your fingernails break So you'll rock that recital and get into Yale
So you won't feel so sick and you won't look so pale
'Cause you've got your full ride and you're early admit
So you're done with this school and all of this shit
And you graduate early
You're gone as of May
And there's nothing your paranoid parents can say

And you know that it's just a sonata away
And you play
And you play
And everything else goes away
Everything else goes away
Everything else goes away
