Play 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

[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

[Verse 3]
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
