Grateful Dead - The Music Never Stopped video free download

"The Music Never Stopped" by Grateful Dead, from the album Blues for Allah (1975).

Lyrics:

There's mosquitoes on the river.

Fish are rising up like birds.

It's been hot for seven weeks now,

Too hot to even speak now.

Did you hear what I just heard?

Say, it might have been a fiddle,

Or it could have been the wind.

But there seems to be a beat, now.

I can feel it in my feet, now.

Listen, here it comes again!

There's a band out on the highway.

They're high-steppin' into town.

They're a rainbow full of sound.

It's fireworks, calliopes and clowns --

Everybody's dancing.

Come on, children. Come on, children,

Come on clap your hands.

Sun went down in honey.

Moon came up in wine.

Stars were spinnin' dizzy,

Lord, the band kept us so busy

We forgot about the time.

They're a band beyond description

Like Jehovah's favorite choir.

People joinin' hand in hand

While the music plays the band.

Lord, they're setting us on fire.

Crazy rooster crowin' midnight.

Balls of lightning roll along.

Old men sing about their dreams.

Women laugh and children scream,

And the band keeps playin' on.

Keep on dancin' through to daylight.

Greet the morning air with song.

No one's noticed, but the band's all packed and gone.

Was it ever here at all?

But they keep on dancing.

C'mon, children. C'mon, children,

Come on clap your hands.

Well, the cool breeze came on Tuesday,

And the corn's a bumper crop.

The fields are full of dancing,

Full of singing and romancing,

'Cause the music never stopped.
