And the band plays on

And the band plays on...
Another distraction
A beautiful song
Avoiding reactions 
To great disaster
Yes, there IS something wrong!
Can't you hear the screams?
Through this lovely song ...
And the band plays on. 
Such sweet anastetic.
It's all going down.
I'll help you forget it.
Ice water is flowing,
But come dance with me love,
One final dance here,
And many more above.
And the band plays on...
And the Angels sing
The choir's sweet voices 
Take over the strings
The cold turns to warmth
And darkness into light
As we dance on home
To shine on big and bright
And the band plays on...
