lyrics

Keep playing. Keep playing
regardless what noise you're making.
Keep banging, keep banging,
pummel that piano until it croaks.
The constant song:
a tap dance in morse code.

Keep writing. Keep writing
even if inside you're dying.
Keep trying, keep trying -
so music's outstretched arms
have fallen short.
The constant song:
a symphony in semaphore.

Keep singing. Keep singing,
I'm certain somebody's listening.
Keep dancing, keep dancing,
and yes, they do shoot horses
when they're maimed - but you're just sprained.
I thought we hoped to die
before we got old.

The constant song:
a looping distress signal.
