Play On

Lyrics

[Verse 1] It's a hard life but you're playing for laughs It's a cold-hearted business--keep away from the draft And your fingers and your throat get sore But they're out there begging for some more [Chorus] So play on (while the lights shine around your head) Play on (every night in a different bed) And the nights go on and on [Verse 2] Get away and find a place you can hide Because tonight you've got to be a star--the sun and fire You're rushing 'round to catch your plane And it's back in the bubble again [Chorus] So play on (while the lights shine around your head) Play on (every night in a different bed) And the nights go on and on [Bridge] Critics calling 'cause you're number one Play your hits and all the girls will come So play on Play on Play on [Chorus] So play on (while the lights shine around your head) Play on (every night in a different bed) And the nights go on and on [Verse 1] It's a hard life but you're playing for laughs It's a cold-hearted business--keep away from the draft And your fingers and your throat get sore But they're out there begging for some more [Chorus] So play on (while the lights shine around your head) Play on (every night in a different bed) And the nights go on and on The nights go on and on
