E A C

There's mos – quitoes on the river

Fish are rising up like birds

It's been hot for seven weeks now,

Too hot to even speak now,

Did you hear what I just heard?

Well the sun went down in honey

And the moon came up in wine,

You know stars were spinnin' dizzy,

Lord the band kept us so busy

2. They're a band beyond description

Like Jehovah's favorite choir

People joining hand in hand

While the music played the band

 

Lord, they're setting us on fire.

3. Crazy rooster crowin' midnight

Balls of lightnin' roll along

Old men sing about their dreams

Women laugh and children scream

And the band keeps playin' on.

Keep on dancin' thru the daylight, (Keep on dancin' thru the daylight)

Greet the mornin' air with song (Greet the mornin' air with song)

No one's noticed, but the band's all packed and gone. (packed & gone)

Was it ever there at all? (we’re they ever here at all)

But they keep on dancin'
