π Lyrics
He's the star on the stage
But he screams all night
'Cause he can't get to sleep at all
And his favorite book by the TV light
Can't stop this matinΓ©e
He's played it over and over
And he can't stop the music
Or remember the ending to his song
He played it much too long
All those hard-earned words
That he's fought from his pen
Have been forgotten in some empty hall
And those wide-eyed looks
On those wiped-out faces
Makes him dream of them places over and over
And he can't stop the music
Or remember the ending to his song
He played it much too long
Wouldn't believe your ears
If he told you what the papers used to say
But that was in his heyday
Yeah, back in his prime, he had the fans in line
You should've seen him then
Now look at him
His hair is gettin' thin
There's one last show before the glory ends
There in the wings waits his only friend
The record that he's prayed to over and over
And he can't stop the music
Or remember the ending to his song
He played it much too long
No, he can't stop the music, oh, no
(Did it go like this or did it go like that?) Music
(Did it go like this or did it go like that?) Can't stop the music
(Did it go like this or did it go like that?) Music
(Did it go like this or did it go like that?) Can't stop the music
(Did it go like this or did it go like that?) Music
(Did it go like this or did it go like that?) Can't stop the music
(Did it go like this or did it go like that?) Music
(Did it go like this or did it go like that?)
But he screams all night
'Cause he can't get to sleep at all
And his favorite book by the TV light
Can't stop this matinΓ©e
He's played it over and over
And he can't stop the music
Or remember the ending to his song
He played it much too long
All those hard-earned words
That he's fought from his pen
Have been forgotten in some empty hall
And those wide-eyed looks
On those wiped-out faces
Makes him dream of them places over and over
And he can't stop the music
Or remember the ending to his song
He played it much too long
Wouldn't believe your ears
If he told you what the papers used to say
But that was in his heyday
Yeah, back in his prime, he had the fans in line
You should've seen him then
Now look at him
His hair is gettin' thin
There's one last show before the glory ends
There in the wings waits his only friend
The record that he's prayed to over and over
And he can't stop the music
Or remember the ending to his song
He played it much too long
No, he can't stop the music, oh, no
(Did it go like this or did it go like that?) Music
(Did it go like this or did it go like that?) Can't stop the music
(Did it go like this or did it go like that?) Music
(Did it go like this or did it go like that?) Can't stop the music
(Did it go like this or did it go like that?) Music
(Did it go like this or did it go like that?) Can't stop the music
(Did it go like this or did it go like that?) Music
(Did it go like this or did it go like that?)
