When the Lights Go Down

When the lights go down
 He'll be fillin' a pan with a broom in his hand
 In some dive across town
 He'll be wipin' the bar, and moppin' the floor
 Countin' his tips, and lockin' the doors
 Wrestling the Devil that tells him to pour another round
 When the lights go down
 She'll be callin' her friends from her 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, the pills
 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 you're made of
 Well, 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
 Has gone another round
 As I lay there alone on this big empty bed
 With 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 is nothing left to be
 When the lights go down and the truth is all you see
 And I wonder if all my life's about
 The sum of all my fears and all my doubts
 Yeah, when the lights go down, oh-whoa

 When the lights go down, oh, and there's nothing left to be
 When the lights go down, yeah, and the truth is all you see
 When you feel that hole (hole) inside your soul (soul)
 And wonder what you're made of
 Well, we all find out, oh
 When the lights go down
 Ooh, when the lights go down, oh-oh
