When The Lights Go Down - Edie Brickell

Benny lost his faith in a gambling spree

Had to leave this place get away from me

Ohhh ohh we’ll meet again

Maybe introduced as friends

He’ll come around in a while

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

'cos you don’t wanna loose what you’ve found

Benny wants to run but he stands his ground

Sick of those big boys pushing him around

Ohhh ohh 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

'cos the wind starts to blow

On the ground

Went away on a 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

'cos you don’t wanna loose what you’ve found

And it’s hard and it’s hard to see

And it’s hard, hard hard hard hard to see

When the lights go

When the lights go down down down down down down down down

Ohhhhh ohh no no no no no no, no no, no no, noo noo

Mmmm

Ohhhh
