[Intro]
\nStep inside
\n(Don’t be afraid)
\nEverybody’s smiling
\n(Everybody’s made)<\/p>\n
Standing still
\n(Standing still)
\nWaiting for the room to turn
\n(Waiting for the thrill)<\/p>\n
[Verse 1]
\nI walked through the doorway
\nAnd something felt strange
\nA face not familiar
\nYet nobody changed<\/p>\n
Eyes looking forward
\nA smile painted on
\nI wondered for a moment
\n(Where had everybody gone?)<\/p>\n
A hand on the shoulder
\nA pose frozen tight
\nYou could swear they were breathing
\n(But they never moved right)<\/p>\n
[Pre-Chorus]
\nIs this a reflection
\n(Is this reality?)
\nAm I just observing
\n(What I’m supposed to see?)<\/p>\n
If everybody’s certain
\n(But nobody knows)
\nHow do you tell the difference
\n(When nobody shows?)<\/p>\n
[Refrain]
\nDo you feel
\n(Like I am…)
\n… in a wax museum?<\/p>\n
Are you real
\n(The real deal)
\n… or muse-dumb?<\/p>\n
[Verse 2]
\nAm I the statue
\nAnd you’re the guide
\n… we’re both pretending
\n(There’s nothing here to hide)<\/p>\n
A little bit of vanity
\nA little bit of fame
\nA frozen little likeness
\n(And somebody’s given it a name)<\/p>\n
But outside the museum
\nThe real world carries on
\nThe river keeps on flowing
\n(Even when the lights are gone)<\/p>\n
[Chorus]
\nWax museum
\n(Wax museum)
\nI’m supposing…
\n(Everybody’s posing)<\/p>\n
Real deal
\n(Real deal)
\nOr just another copy
\n(That doesn’t feel?)<\/p>\n
Muse-dumb
\n(Muse-dumb)
\nLost inside the room
\nWhen you’re staring at the statue
\n(Who’s the statue… me or you?)<\/p>\n
[Bridge]
\nMove!
\n(Prove!)<\/p>\n
Blink!
\n(Think!)<\/p>\n
Feel!
\n(Real!)<\/p>\n
[Instrumental]
\n[Dreamy guitar]
\n[Quirky piano]
\n[Wobbling synth]<\/p>\n
[Final Chorus]
\nWax museum
\n(Or muse gone numb)
\nDo you feel frozen
\n(Or ready to move?)
\nProve…
\n(The real deal)
\nAre you awake
\n(Know what’s at stake?)<\/p>\n
Muse-dumb
\n(Muse-dumb)
\nDon’t let your mind become
\nA monument to yesterday
\n(When tomorrow’s just begun)
\n… to begin again<\/p>\n
[Outro]
\nBlink!
\n(If you’re alive)
\nThink!
\n(Strive to thrive)<\/p>\n
