When The Lights Go Down Songtext / Lyric

When the lights go down
He`ll be fillin`a pan with a broom in his hand
In some dive across town

He`ll be wipin' the bar and mopping the floor
Countin` his tips and lockin the doors
Wrestlin` the devil that tells him to pour another round

When the lights go down
She`ll be calling her friends from a Mercedes Benz
But it's too late now

They were there for the frame, the flash and the thrill
The drop of the name, the parties, the pills
As another star falls from the Hollywood Hills without a sound

chorus: When the lights go down
And there's nothing left to be
When the lights go down
And the truth is all you see
When you feel that hole inside your soul
And Wonder what you`re made of well, we all find out
When the lights go down

When the lights go down
At the end of the day
With this game that I play
has gone another round

As I lay there alone in this big empty bed
Nothing but thoughts of you in my head
I think of the things I wished I had said when you were still around

When the lights go down
And there's nothing left to be
When the lights go down
And the truth is all you see
And I wonder if all my life`s about the sum of all my fears and all my doubts
Yeah, when the lights go down, oh
