And The Band Plays

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh (ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)

Oh, oh (ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh)

Oh, oh (ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)

Oh, oh (ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh)

If life was simple

Every day, like Sunday afternoon

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

There'd be no reason

To wake up, fight back, be a better you

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Come dance by the fire

'Til you're feeling higher than the State of Empire

Let that New York feeling kill your pain into your ears

Let the rhythm dry your tears as the world stops

And the band plays

(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)

(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh)

Walk into the light all of a sudden

And the band plays

(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)

(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh)

Always making something out of nothing

Turn your heartache into loving

And the band plays

Oh, oh (ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)

Oh, oh (ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh)

Oh, oh (ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)

Oh, oh (ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh)

Beware the straight roads

Or they'll catch you sleeping at the wheel

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

The warning sirens are more than sounds

There's something you can feel

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Come let down your hair

Let your despair be shared, you can dance in your bed

Let that downtown feeling kill your pain and all your fears

Let the rhythm dry your tears as the work stops, oh

And the band plays

(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)

(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh)

Walk into the light all of a sudden

And the band plays

(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)

(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh)

We're always making something out of nothing

Turn your heartache into loving

And the band plays
