While the Band Keeps Playing on

It's late in the evening

You're running for the town

For the lights of the city

You ain't ever slowing down

A penny for your sorrow

A score for your love

I'd give it all tomorrow

But it wouldn't be enough

And the strings are in their places

The band starts the show

You left me a little high, sitting in the front row

Do you get a kick out of hurting someone?

While the band keeps playing on

Yeah you got a kick out of hurting someone

While the band keeps playing on

Some heartaches are pretty

Some are sweet

Some are for the movies

Baby that ain't you and me

And I know it sounds foolish

But love I believed

That my heart in time would always be missed

But you got a kick out of hurting someone

While the band keeps playing on

Yeah you got a kick out of hurting someone

While the band keeps playing on

So play

Do you get a kick out of hurting someone?

While the band keeps playing on

You got a kick out of hurting someone

While the band keeps playing on
