When the lights go down in the city Getting real low Settling in my room, i'm unnoticed When the still comes in through the window Letting me go I feel a calm, come over me, on the floor
On the floor
Where the rats all come away clean They're on the floor Where the children all stomped and screamed Straight out the door Well i find my self on my knees Begging please When the lights go down in the city And everyone goes to their room Walking the trail To dreamland
When the lights go down in the city Something is roaring I find myself Waiting to believe
On the floor
Where the mice call shots In the corner that's where i'll be When the crickets come home and sing their symphony Well i find myself on my knees
Begging please
On the floor Facing the things i've done Here on the floor Where the years have gathered and run That's where i'll be And i find myself on my knees
