The Music Never Stopped Songtext
von Grateful Dead

There′s mosquitoes 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?

Say it might have been a fiddle (ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh)
Or it could have been the wind (ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh)
But there seems to be a beat now (ooh-ooh)
I can feel it in my feet now (ooh-ooh)
Listen, here it comes again

There′s a band out on the highway (band out on the highway)
They're high steppin' into town (steppin′ into town)
It′s a rainbow full of sound
It's fireworks, calliopes, and clowns
Everybody dancin′

Come on, children, come on, children
Come on, clap your hands


Sun went down in honey
And the moon came up in a while
You know the stars were spinnin' dizzy
Lord, the band kept us too busy
We forgot about the time

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

Crazy rooster crowin' midnight (ooh-ooh, ooh)
Balls of lightin' roll along (ooh-ooh, ooh)
Old men sing about their dreams (ooh-ooh, ooh)
Women laugh and children scream
And the band keeps playin′ on

Keep on dancin′ through the daylight (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 and gone)
Was it ever here at all? (Was it ever here at all?)
But they keep on dancin'

Come on, children, come on, children
Come on, clap your hands


Well, the cool breeze came on Tuesday
And the corn′s a bumper crop
And the fields are full of dancin'
Full of singin' and romancing
The music never stopped
