The Band Played Just For Me - Jon Fratelli

Waved goodbye on the other side then said
"Hello don't you ever leave me "
She crossed the room the room and she tried to hide and said
"I told you once why don't you believe me "
And the pink light shined knocked me blind I said
"Would you mind if I tried to make this easy "
She clenched her eyes and rolled her fists and
Wondered out loud what it takes to please me
But I was halfway to the door and in the street
The band was playing just for me
I once knew her like I knew me nobody could
See how she could own me
In her room I was petrified and tried my best
To hide how she could use me
In neon signs a hundred feet high no doubt
Left forever she would want me
And I was left in no such doubt that in that
One sweet moment she would haunt me
And in my dreams and in my nightmares
The band was there playing just for me
"i would die for you she cried "
I tried not to decide how I would leave her
There was nothing left to tell myself and
Wonder if I could believe her
No time to hide no time to hide
No time to watch the world pass me by
No time to grin no time to choose
No time to chase the ghost from my shoes
No time to win no time to bawl no time to creep
And no time to crawl
No time to sleep no time to sin
No time to lose and nothing to win
No time for heroics no time to feed
Nothing to confess or to conceed
No time to save no time for love
Sex was a curse sent from above
No time to cry no time to explain
Nothing to scream and no one to blame
No time for silence no time at all
No time to fail and no where to fall
No time to hide no time to lie
No time to watch the world pass me by
No time to grin no time to choose
No time to chase the ghost from my shoes
No time to sleep no time to sin
No time to lose and no time to win
