When the lights go down in the city

Getting real low

Settling in my room, I'm unnoticed

When the still comes in through my window

Letting me go

I feel a calm, come over me, on the floor

On the floor

Where the rats all come away clean

They're on the floor

Where the children all stomped and screamed

Straight out the door

Well I find my self on my knees

Begging please

When the lights go down in the city

And everyone goes to their room

Walking the trail

To dreamland

When the lights go down in the city

Something is roaring

I find myself

Waiting to believe

On the floor

Where the mice call shots

In the corner that's where I'll be

When the crickets come home and sing their symphony

Well I find myself on my knees

Begging please

On the floor

Facing the things I've done

Here on the floor

Where the years have gathered and run

That's where I'll be

And I find myself on my knees

Begging please
