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
