Can't Stop The Music (he Played It Much Too Long) Lyrics - No Goodbyes - Hall & Oates

He's the star on the stage, but he screams all night 

'Cause he can't get to sleep at all 

And his favorite book, by the T.V. Light 

Can't stop this matinee, he's played it over and over 

And he can't stop the music 

Or remember the ending to his song 

He played it much too long 

All those hard earned words, that he's fought from his pen 

Have been forgotten in some empty hall 

And those wide eyed looks, on those wiped out faces 

Make some dreams of their places over and over 

And he can't stop the music 

Or remember the ending to his song 

He played it much too long 

Wouldn't believe in years 

If he told you what the papers use to say 

But that was in his hey day 

Get 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 

There's one last show before the glory ends 

There in the wings, waits his only friend 

The record that he's prayed to over and over 

And he can't stop the music 

Or remember the ending to his song 

He played it much too long 

Now, he can't stop the music, oh no 

Then we go like this, and we go like that 

Music 

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 

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 

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 

Then we go like this and we go like that
