Sweet Comfort Band They Just Go On Lyrics

He plays guitar in a smoke-filled room
Singing from the afternoon until the morning comes
His music sets the atmosphere
For drinking lonely hearts that gather here

By two A.M. he ends the show
His world is fine for all we know
(But don't believe a word--)
He's a master of charades
An expert with the masquerade

Well, they just go on, never changing
They just go on and on and on and on and on
Well, they just go on, never changing
They just go on and on and on and on and on

Married to the man on stage
The woman who will share his wage
Waits to drive him home
Gives to him a warming smile
Secretly she trembles all the while

She wears the look of confidence And leads the life of common sense
(She keeps a level head)
But just behind her quiet grace
There hides a girl who's lost and out of place

Well, they just go on, never changing
They just go on and on and on and on and on
Well, they just go on, never changing
They just go on and on and on and on and on

There's a hunger inside they can't satisfy
With any earthly treasure
And they wonder each night
If the pain they must hide will go on...

Well, they just go on, never changing
They just go on and on and on and on and on
Well, they just go on, never changing
They just go on and on and on and on and on
