He plays guitar in a smoke-filled room Singing from the afternoon Until the morning comes His music sets the atmosphere For drinking, lonely hearts that gather here By two a.m. he ends the show His world is fine for we know But don't believe a word He's a master of charades An expert with the masquerades They just go on Never changing They just go on and on and on and on and on They just go on Never changing They just go on and on and on and on and on And married to the man to stage The woman who will share his wage She waits to drive him home Gives to him a warming smile But secretly she trembles all the while She wears the look of confidence And leads the life of common sense She keeps a level head But just behind her quiet grace There hides a girl who's lost and out of place Oh, they just go on Never changing They just go on and on and on and on and on They just go on Never changing They just go on and on and on and on and on There's a hunger inside That they can't satisfy With any earthly treasure And they wonder each night If the pain the must hide will go on... And they just go on They just go on Never changing They just go on and on and on and on and on They just go on Never changing They just go on and on and on and on and on
