And the band played on without me


Snow dances on a TV screen

While a couples' in their bedroom being obscene

Their filthy sheets won't stay clean

And the band played on without me

A man's down on his knee holding up a ring

Begging an idea to be his queen

She can't say yes

Doesn't know what love means

And the band played on without me

A father's with a son driving in a car

He won't stop yelling 

So they don't get far

Time's running out to heal this ugly scar

With daddy's lungs all blackened by tar

And the band played on without me

Flirty girls meet pretty boys

came together then lost their poise

They tossed them out like they were just toys

And the band played on. But it was just noise without me.
