The Music Never Stopped (Live at Dane County Coliseum, Madison, WI, February 3, 1978) The Grateful Dead
[Verse 1]
There's mosquitoes on the river
Fishes 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 (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
Or it could have been the wind (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
But there seems to be a beat now (Ooh)
I can feel it my feet now (Ooh, ooh)
Listen, here it comes again
[Bridge]
There's a band out on the highway
They're high-stepping into town
(Oh, they're dancing into town)
It's a rainbow full of sound
It's fireworks, calliopes and clowns
Everybody's dancing
[Chorus]
Come on children, come on children
Come on and clap your hands
[Verse 2]
Wеll, the sun went down in honey
And thе moon came up in wine
And the stars were spinning 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 joining hand in hand
While the music plays the band
Lord, they're setting us on fire
Crazy rooster crowing midnight (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
Balls of lighting roll along (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
Old men sing about their dreams (Ooh)
Women laugh and children scream (Ooh, ooh)
The band keeps playing on
There's mosquitoes on the river
Fishes 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 (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
Or it could have been the wind (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
But there seems to be a beat now (Ooh)
I can feel it my feet now (Ooh, ooh)
Listen, here it comes again
