The Music Never Dies

Play your guitar, silent son

Play it as fast as it comes

Play your cello, little girl

You give your body to the world

Sing a song, dear alien singer

You will be fed in the gutter

Play those keys on your knees

The girl is hiding her disease

I know the music never dies

It breaks against the wall of sound

Its pieces rain down upon our faces

They slice up like a knife

Through our minds and through our thighs

Beat your drum, my little soldier

March in style, dear cannon fodder

Dress in blood, shoot for the stars

As the horns tear you apart

Dress in blood and crimson scars

Fake your death and crash your car

The cross you raised for all to see

Sold to a Broadway tragedy

I know the music never dies

It breaks against the wall of sound

Its pieces rain down upon our faces

They slice up like a knife

Through our minds and through our thighs

Comb your hair in cell block two

Lose yourself in Channel Blue

Someone screams to turn it down

But you're the toughest band around

Dance in clubs and fall in bars

Tonight you'll go very far

To the top of the charts

Where beats the darkest sacred heart

I know the music never dies

It breaks against the wall of sound

Its pieces rain down upon our faces

They slice up like a knife

Through our minds and through our thighs

I know the music never dies

It breaks against the wall of sound

Its pieces rain down upon our faces

They slice up like a knife

Through our minds and through our thighs
