And The Band Played On Lyrics

Yeah, sweetest angel came down Took me by the hand Said I've got things to offer you Help you understand
If the bombs don't get you I'll roll with you tonight All those things inside your head You've got to get it right
And the band played on Yes, the band played on
Spirits of the city Were callin' out my name When jealous guys break down and cry They got themselves to blame
If the bombs don't get you Take courage in the night All those dreams inside your head You've got to get it right
Still the band played on Yeah, the band played on [Incomprehensible][Incomprehensible]Yeah, yeah
The room was gettin' hotter And someone hit the light There was power in the darkness There was violence in the night
And the golden sons and daughters They were comin' up for air You were standin' with your back to me And a halo round your hair
And the questions there were many Like how can you survive When it's the moment you've been waitin' for This is the moment of your life
So every dreamer pass me by With a fix me Jesus stare in his eyes I was born to live, I was born to die With the queen of soul and the king of light
All the power in the land Pull me through to the shadow land I was driven by some hidden hand It's the greatest gift of all
And the band played on Yeah, the band played on [Incomprehensible]Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Shake the ghost within you Get up, meet up the rising sun 'Cos the old days they're the dying days And the new day's just begun
At the end of every party Hear the singer sing his song May his heart stay young forever And the dream still lingers on
I wanna die, I wanna live again I wanna keep on keepin' on They say a coward dies a thousand times But the brave they die just once
So walk to me, talk to me Hold me now, spectre of love There's a coolness under fire And a universal love
And the band played on And the band played on And the band played on And the band played on
Played on, played on Played on, played on Played on, played on
