The Music Still Plays On
[MIMI]
I had a son
He was one of a kind
Son of a gun
We were too intertwined

I look damn good in a hat
My black dress hides the fact
I don't want sympathy
He was here and now he's gone
The music still plays on

I see the keys
And I freeze
No surprise
This is how he
Thinks I'll be
When he dies

I'll be gracious and aloof
Or I'll climb on the roof
Shouting obscenities
He was here and now he's gone
The music still plays on

The music still plays on
And on and on and on
Loud and fast and clear
The music still plays on
And on and on and on
Even though you're not here
My dear
