When The Lights Go Down lyrics

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 moppin' the floor

Countin' his tips, and 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

When the lights go down and there's nothing left to be

When the lights go down and 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 on 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 the sum

Of all my fears and all my doubts

When the lights go down

When the lights go down and there's nothing left to be

When the lights go down and 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
