When The Lights Go Down

When the lights go down
He'll be filling a pan with a broom in his hand
In some drive across town
He'll be wiping the bar and mopping the floor
Counting his tips and licking the doors
Restling the devil that tells him to poor another round
When the lights go down
She'll be calling up 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 the name the parties and the pits
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 your soul
And wonder what your made of
Where 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
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
Yeah there's nothing left to be
When the lights go down
And the truth is all you see
And I wonder if all my lights about
It's some of them are here
And all my doubts
Yeah when the lights go down oh
When the lights go down
And there's nothing left to be
When the lights go down
Yeah the truth is all you see
When you feel that hole
Inside your soul
And wonder what your made of
Where we all find out
When the lights go down
Oh when the lights go down
