When The Lights Go Down

Benny lost faith in a gambling spree

Had to leave this place -- get away from me

We'll meet again

Maybe introduced as friends

He'll come around in awhile

But it's so hard to see when the lights go down

And it's hard to believe when the lights go down

And you shake in your shoes sitting next to the blues

'Cause you don't want to lose what you've found

Then he wants to run but he stands his ground

Sick of those big boys pushing him around

Here comes a crowd

They don't care what it's about

Somebody's son's going down

And it's so hard to see when the lights go down

And it's hard to believe when the lights go down

All the animals know when the fire is low

'Cause the wind starts to blow on the ground

Went away on Sunday

Had a glass of wine on Monday

All by yourself in your room

And it's hard to believe when the lights go down

And it's so hard to see when the lights go down

And you shake in your shoes sitting next to the blues

'Cause you don't want to lose what you've found it's hard to believe it's so hard to see when the lights go down
