the band keeps playing

I don't know what i'm doing here I have missed my cue Treacherous waters engulfing me Blowing down my house of cards Even if the applause is for me Praise won't stop my tears No matter how much i'm sewing My dress still has tears So the band keeps on playing While i continue to cry The band keeps playing My lips fake a smile If the band won't stop playing Maybe they won't see That my dress keeps tearing And it's It's swallowing me Still at your beck and call The gold rush blinded you I am the one left standing here In my dried up river bed My head is still spinning Violent storm inside Seems like there's no winning Many times i've tried So the band keeps on playing While i continue to cry The band keeps playing My lips fake a smile If the band won't stop playing Maybe they won't see That my dress keeps tearing And it's It's swallowing me So the band keeps on playing While i continue to cry The band keeps playing My lips fake a smile If the band won't stop playing Maybe they won't see That my dress keeps tearing And it's So the band keeps on playing While i continue to cry The band keeps playing My lips fake a smile If the band won't stop playing Maybe they won't see That my dress keeps tearing And it's It's swallowing me
