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, moppin' the floor
Countin' his tips, lockin' the doors
Wrestling the devil that tells him to pour another
round
When the lights go down.
She'll be callin' her friends from her Mercedes Benz
But it's too late now
They were there for the fame, the flash and the thrill
For 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 when this game that I play
Has gone another round
As I lay there alone in this big empty bed
With nothing but thoughts of you in my head
I think of the things that I wish 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 is the sum
Of all my fears and all my doubts
When all the lights go down
(Chorus)
