The Band Plays On Lyrics

She said let’s sit the next one out
And took me by the hand
Led me to the corner and said I hope you’ll understand
But it feels like the thrill is gone
I don’t love you anymore
My ears are still a ringing
When you slammed the back door

And the band plays on
Even when the teardrops fall
And the band plays on
Like nothing ever happened at all
It jingles and jangles and rocks to the rhythm
And everybody sings along
Even when the walls start caving in
The band plays on

Walked out in dark of the night
Saw her tail lights disappear
She took her love from me
And left me standing here
And I felt like it’s the end of the world
As I stared down the street
My heart was torn in two
But it never missed a beat

And the band plays on
Even when the teardrops fall
And the band plays on
Like nothing ever happens at all It jingles and jangles and rocks to the rhythm
And everybody sings along
Even when the walls start caving in
The band plays on

Now don’t feel sorry for me
Till they bring that curtain down
I’m gonna keep on playing my part
Till my heart strings come around

And the band plays on
Even when the teardrops fall
And the band plays on
Like nothing ever happened at all
It jingles and jangles and rocks to the rhythm
And everybody sings along
Even when the walls start caving in
The band plays on

Even when the rain falls from the sky
Even when there’s trouble on the rise
Even when a lover’s knot unties
The band plays on
Even when your world starts crashing down
Even when your heart strings come unwound
Even when they lay you in the ground
The band plays on
And on and on and on
