Jon Fratelli - The Band Played Just For Me lyrics

Waved goodbye on the other side
Then I said, "Hello
Why don't you ever leave me?" (Oh)
She crossed the room then she
Tried to hide and said
"I told you once why don't you believe me?"
(Oh) and the pink light shined knocked
Me blind I said, "Would you mind if I tried
To make this easy?"
She clenched her eyes and
Rolled her fists and
Wondered out loud what it takes to please
Me but, I was halfway to the
Door and in the street
The band was playing just for me

I once knew her like I knew me nobody
Could see how she could own me in her room
I was petrified and tried my best to
Hide how she could use me
In neon signs a hundred feet high
No doubt left forever she would want me
And I was left in no such doubt that in
That one sweet moment she would haunt me
And in my dreams and in my nightmares the
Band was there playing just for me
"I would die for you", she cried
I tried not to decide how I would leave her
There was nothing left to tell myself and
Wonder if I could believe her

No time to hide, no time to lie
No time to watch the world pass me by
No time to grin, no time to choose
No time to chase the ghost from my shoes
No time to win, no time to bawl
No time to creep and no time to crawl
No time to sleep, no time to sin
No time to lose and nothing to win
No time for heroics, no time to feed
Nothing to confess or to concede
No time to save, no time for love
Sex was a curse sent from above
No time to cry, no time to explain
Nothing to scream and no one to blame
No time for silence, no time at all
No time to fail and nowhere to fall
No time to hide, no time to lie
No time to watch the world pass me by
No time to grin, no time to choose
No time to chase the ghost from my shoes
No time to sleep, no time to sin
No time to lose and no time to win
