Bob Schneider - The Band Plays On Lyrics

After you fell out your chair
Strawberries in your hair
After you fell off the face of the moon
Well I thought I'd let you know
Just in case your listening bro
What happened after you were gone
The band played on
The band played on

Well you meant world to me
You were all I'd ever need
My one true love until you were gone
And you left me here to rot
Left me with all that I'm not
But what I found before too long
The band played on
The band played on

You were a hero and a friend
The whole world loved you till the end
They put a statue of you down in the square
And when I heard the news you see
Well it really got to me
I even learned to play one of your songs
While the band played on
The band played on

Oh I hear the bell that tolls
That takes bodies from their souls
It's tolling now I hear it in the wind
It rings as if to say we only have today
The only day we've got until we're gone
And the band played on
And the band plays on
And the band plays on
And the band plays on
