Lyrics:

She said lets sit the next one out
And took me by the hand
Led me to the corner and said I hope youll understand
But it feels like the thrill is gone
I dont love you anymore
My ears are still a ringing
When you slammed the back door
And the band plays on
Even when the teardrops fall
And the band plays on
Like nothing ever happened at all
It jingles and jangles and rocks to the rhythm
And everybody sings along
Even when the walls start caving in
The band plays on
Walked out in dark of the night
Saw her tail lights disappear
She took her love from me
And left me standing here
And I felt like its the end of the world
As I stared down the street
My heart was torn in two
But it never missed a beat
And the band plays on
Even when the teardrops fall
And the band plays on
Like nothing ever happens at all
It jingles and jangles and rocks to the rhythm
And everybody sings along
Even when the walls start caving in
The band plays on
Now dont feel sorry for me
Till they bring that curtain down
Im gonna keep on playing my part
Till my heart strings come around
