When the lights go down
He'll be filling a pan with a broom in his hand
In some dive across town
He'll be wiping the bar and mopping the floor
Counting his tips and locking the door
Wrestling with the devil that tells him to pour
Another round
When the lights go down
She'll be calling her friends from the Mercedes Benz
But its too late now
They were there for the fame(E, the falsh and the thrill
The drop of the names, the parties the pills
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 in this big empty bed
Nothing but thoughts of you in my head
I think of things that I wish I had said
When you were still around

When the lights go down
And there's 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 
When the lights go down

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
Ohhh when the lights go down
