While the Band Plays On
While the band plays on
dancers grow drowsy
stifling a yawn
Half-empty bottles here and there
couches overlaid with outerwear
while the band plays on
Drunken arms over backs of chairs lay
chests rise and fall slowly, feet splayed
while the band plays on
The dance floor now empty
last notes float out the door
the world sober once more
