When the Lights Came On |
| The party wasn’t over when my friends started leaving |
| Still a lot of things I had to say |
| If I walked back in the room would it be the way I left it? |
| Lost my nerve and turned away |
| And the rains came, and the skies turned grey |
| When the lights came on |
| I could see the picture |
| It burned my eyes and it bruised my mind |
| Gave me hope to face the future |
| I was not alone when the lights came on |
| They crucified the ox and threw his carcass to the fire |
| Stood around proclaiming they were free |
| Stripped away his flesh while giving thanks for all his labours |
| No-one saw the joke but him and me |
| Then the rains came, and the skies turned grey |
| The wise man built his house upon the rock beside the river |
| Cared not for the storms that lashed around |
| The foolish man was tempted, dipped his soul into the water |
| His body, though at peace, has not been found |
| Because the rains came, and the skies turned grey |
