When The Lights Go Out Lyrics

When The Lights Go Out lyrics

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...
