the lights went out
but I could still see by the glow
of her bedpost bright
and she smiles cause she wants me to know
that shes always been
my best friend
in a world where the lights go out

The lights were dim
But I could still see well enough
To make out the tear on my brim
And the fear that hung from my cuff
Well the stars felt weak
But they laughed with me
At a world where the lights go out

The road was wide
But I still took both the lanes
And she sat so close to me
We floated away like the planes
Cause we had to go
It’s the end of the show
For a world where the lights go out
It’s the world where the lights go out

I’m almost gone
But it’s cool cause I’ve been here before
With my wife on the phone
And my girlfriend knocks on my door
Well they both love me
Cause they both don’t see
I’m the world where the lights go out

My fear is dead
She died last night in her sleep
While my clock hummed along
And the morning started to weep
Cause the day begins
And a young man wins
In the world where the lights go out
