"When The Lights Go Down" lyrics

Reaching for the stars
Leaping from a roof
Bandaging my body
Spitting out a tooth
Wisdom be the stranger
In a misspent youth
Keep that fame and money
All I want is truth

This is no game when the lights go down
I am the same when the lights go down
When the lights go down
When the lights go down

So keep telling those lies
If they can help you through
I've been born that many times
Soon I'll come back as new
Projecting all your thoughts
Like they were bullets from your mouth
I made my home from the sticks and stones
I'm a happy man without

This ain't no game when the lights go down
I am the same when the lights go down
When the lights go down
When the lights go down
When the lights go down
When the lights go down

What a waste of time
I've got better things to do
I've got many of problems
Not one of them is you
Let us not pretend
Should we ever meet again
That we'll meet again too soon

This is no game when the lights go down
I am the same when the lights go down
I am the same when the lights go down
I am the same when the lights, when the lights
When the lights go down
When the lights go down
When the lights go down
When the lights go down
