Sweetest angel came down, took me by the hand
Said I've got things to offer you, help you understand
If the booms don't get you, I'll roll with you tonight
All those things inside you head, you've got to get it right
And the band played on, the band played on
Spirits of the city were calling out my name
When jealous guys break down and cry
They got themselves to blame
If the booms 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, the band played on
And the world moved on, the world moved on
The room was getting hotter and someone hit the light
There was power in the darkness, there was violence in the night
And the golden sons and the daughters, they were coming up for air
You were standing with your back to me and a halo round your hair
And the questions there were manym like how can you survive
When it's the moment you've been waiting form 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
Shadowland I was driven by some hidden hand
It's the greatest gift of all
And the band played on, the band played on
Shake the ghost within you, get up meet up the rising sun
Cause the old days, they're the dying days and the new day's just begun
At the end of every party hear the singer sings his song
May his heart stay young forever and the dreams still linger on
I want to die, I want to live again, I want to keep on keeping 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
