Bleu Edmondson - The Band Plays On lyrics

She hums a song she can't remember The music lives but the words are dead The sun went out in late November It's been four days since she's been to bed She's got a tattoo on the back of her neck Wears China-red lipstick #3 Stands by the jukebox smoking a cigarette Watches the band and she drinks for free Well everybody's got a story Might be a little better than yours Have you ever bled for the price of glory Then what the hell are you livin' for You sit and to listen to the music But you don't hear the song This old world spins a little faster And the band plays on Well everybody stops to watch her move She laughs just a little at her neon fame The girls think she's got somethin' to prove But all the boys wanna know her name But the storybooks were wrong again And the songs on the radio lie She weeps for who's she been But nobody hears her cry, her cry yeah But everybody's got a story Might be a little harder than yours Have you ever bled for glory Then what the hell are you livin' for You sit and to listen to the music But you can't hear that song This old world spins a little faster And the band plays on She's gettin' high back in the alley Standin' in the pourin' rain Her nights have always been just a little too hard And don't you know it helps ease the pain But everybody's got a story Might be a little better than yours Have you ever bled for the price of glory Then what the hell are you livin' for You sit and to listen to the music But you can't hear that song This old world spins a little faster, faster Everybody's got a story Have you ever bled for the price of glory You sit and to listen to the music But you can't hear that song This old world spins a little faster The band plays on The band plays on and on
