| When The Lights Go Down |

When the lights go down
He'll be fillin the pan with the broom in his hand in some dive across town
He'll be wipin the bar and moppin the floor
Counting his tips and locking the door
Wrestling the devil that tells him to pour another round
When the lights go down
She'll be callin her friends from the Mercedes Benz
But it's too late now
They were there for the fame the flash and the thrill
The drop of a name, the parties, the pills
Another star falls from the hollywood hills without a sound
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 of your soul
and you wonder what your 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
It's 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 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
The sum all my fears and all my doubts
Yeah, when the lights go down, oh
