When The Lights Go Down lyrics

When the lights go down
He ll be fillin a pan with the broom in his hand
In some diner cross town
He ll be wipin the bar and moppin the floor
Counting his tips and locking the doors
Restlin the devil that tells him to pour another round
When the lights go down
She ll be callin a friend from her Mercedes Benz
But it s too late now
They were there for the fame, the flash, and the thrill
The drop of the name, the parties of hills
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 the truth is all you see
When you feel that hole inside of your soul
And wonder what it s made of, Oh 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 on this big empty bed
Nothing but thoughts of you in my mind
I think of the things I wish I d 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, what my lifes about
And some of them are fears and all my doubts
Yeah, when the lights go down, oh
