"When The Lights Go Out" lyrics

"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...
