Hall & Oates - "Can't Stop the Music" lyrics

He's the star of the stage, and he screams all night And his favorite book, by the T.V. light, can't stop the matinee, 'Cause he can't get to sleep at all He's played it over and over He Can't Stop The Music, or remember the ending to his song Have been forgotten in some empty hall All those hard-earned words, that he's fought from his pen He played it much too long And the wide-eyed looks, on those wiped-out faces Make some dreams in such places over and over He Can't Stop The Music, or remember the ending to his song But that was in his hey-day Wouldn't believe your ears, if he told you what the papers use to say He played it much too long Back in his prime he had the fans in line You should have seen him then, now look at him His hair is getting thin He played it much too long There's one last show before the glory ends He Can't Stop The Music, or remember the ending to his song There in the wings, waits his only friend, Then we go like this, and we go like that (music) The record that he prayed to over and over Then we go like this, and we go like that, Then we go like this and we go like that. Can't Stop The Music Then we go like this, and we go like that (music)
