The Band Stopped Playing
Sir Simon

The lights went onnThe band stopped playingnOur voices drowned by the applausenThey gave encores as we left the buildingnFor midnight phonecalls in the darknnhello, hello, hellonnYou missed the train and I watched you walkingnThe next train won't leave before the dawnnBut it's hard to talk just to avoid the silencenSo we both put our own headphones onnnSo please turn that tune now into something truthfulnInto something meaningful or specialnPlease make those batteries last a little longernKeep the thin red bar alivennWe said goodnightnAnd we saw it coming as the sky was getting bright againnAnd you shook my hand and I started laughingnComedy is just tragedy plus timennSo please turn that handshake into something usefulnInto something beautiful or specialnAnd please make those batteries last a little longernKeep the thin red bar alivenAnd I put that away for the rest of the dayn'Cause the signs on the display say over
