When The Lights Go Out |
| Jimmy, Jimmy |
| Where have you been? |
| We had a date |
| It’s four am and you’re |
| Five hours late again |
| Jimmy said he had a feeling tonight… |
| He couldn’t go to sleep |
| It was getting light… |
| Drank some coffee and I got a buzz |
| So I got myself a fifth with a friend |
| And then the lights go out, and |
| He said it’ll be the same as yesterday |
| Hey-hey |
| When the lights go out |
| It’ll be the same |
| Hey-hey |
| Simi Valley, where the hell is that? |
| When I woke up, I swore I’d quit |
| No more, no more, I swore I swore |
| And then the lights go out, and |
| He said it’ll be the same as yesterday |
| Hey-hey |
| When the lights go out |
| It’ll be the same |
| Hey-hey |
| I slept with the door unlocked |
| When I left her… |
| I thought she might come back |
| Even though I knew her |
| Better than that |
| And I was better off, I did it anyway… |
| I’d wake and hear her voice decay |
| Into police sirens far away |
| Jimmy said he had a feeling tonight… |
| He couldn’t go to sleep |
| It was getting light… |
| And then the lights go out… |
