Can't Stop the Music (He Played It Much Too Long)

Now look at him
Music
But that was in his hey day
Can't stop the music

Get back in his prime he had the fans in line
There in the wings, waits his only friend
All those hard earned words, that he's fought from his pen
Or remember the ending to his song
Then we go like this, and we go like that
Make some dreams of their places over and over
And those wide eyed looks, on those wiped out faces
Can't stop the music
Music
And his favorite book, by the T.V. Light
And he can't stop the music

Have been forgotten in some empty hall
Music
He played it much too long
And he can't stop the music

The record that he's prayed to over and over
If he told you what the papers use to say
Then we go like this, and we go like that

Wouldn't believe in years

Or remember the ending to his song

Can't stop the music
And he can't stop the music
His hair is getting thin

Then we go like this, and we go like that
Then we go like this, and we go like that
He played it much too long
There's one last show before the glory ends
Then we go like this, and we go like that
He played it much too long

Can't stop this matinee, he's played it over and over
You should have seen him then
Then we go like this and we go like that

Then we go like this, and we go like that
Now, he can't stop the music, oh no
Or remember the ending to his song
Music
