Greatful Dead The Music Never Stopped Lyrics

The Music Never Stopped Lyrics

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 or it could have been the wind 

 But there seems to be a beat now I can feel it my feet now 

 Listen here it comes again! 

  

 There's a band out on the highway, They're high steppin' into town 

 It's a rainbow full of sound, It's fireworks, calliopes and clowns 

 Everybody dancin' C'mon children, C'mon children, Come on clap your hands. 

  

 Sun went down in honey and the moon came up in wine, 

 You know 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, Balls of lightin' 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, Greet the mornin' air with song 

 No ones's noticed, but the band's all pack and gone. Was it ever there at all?


 But they keep on dancin' C'mon children, C'mon 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 romancin' 

 The music never stopped
