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...
