And The Band Plays

If life was simple Every day like Sunday afternoon There'd be no reason To wake up, fight back, be a better you 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 Walk into the light all of a sudden And the band plays Always making something out of nothing Turn your heartache into loving And the band plays Beware the straight road Oh they'll catch you sleeping at the wheel The warning sirens are more than sound There's something you can feel 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 Walk into the light all of a sudden And the band plays We're always making something out of nothing Turn your heartache into loving And the band plays And the band plays Boom boom boom Pow wow wow Crashing on the cymbals And the band plays Boom boom boom Pow wow wow Can you hear the trumpets Screaming at the trombones Walk into the light all of a sudden And the band plays You know we're always making something out of nothing Turn your heartache into loving And the band plays
