Bruce Springsteen - When the Lights Go Out lyrics
[Bruce Springsteen - When the Lights Go Out lyrics]
Now you say you have a friend
You trust him with your life
You trust him with your money
You trust him with your kids
You'd even trust him with your wife
You better watch what's goin' on
When the lights are out
When the night is dark
When there ain't nobody lookin' around
Yeah when the lights are out down
In this dirty little town
Well now the world is dark and funny
Better listen up to what I say
You ain't gonna know what's going on
By what you see in the light of day
You gotta watch what's goin' on
When the lights are out
When the night is dark
When there ain't nobody lookin' around
Yeah when the lights are out down
In this dirty little town
Now you swear that she trusted you
Within reason, I understand
But you kept slippin' in late at night
And in the mornin' you had
That smell on your hands
Well now the world is turning
Rome is burning
Me, I'm watching and I'm learning
They say sure as God's hand and
The tickin' of the clock
The lord's light'll shine under
Every slimy rock
Well last night, I slept the sleep of fear
And I heard God's voice whisper in my ear
He said you better watch what's going
On when the lights are out
When the night is dark
When there ain't nobody lookin' around
Yeah when the lights are out down
In this dirty little town
Down in this dirty little town
You trust him with your life
You trust him with your money
You trust him with your kids
You'd even trust him with your wife
You better watch what's goin' on
When the lights are out
When the night is dark
When there ain't nobody lookin' around
Yeah when the lights are out down
In this dirty little town
Well now the world is dark and funny
Better listen up to what I say
You ain't gonna know what's going on
By what you see in the light of day
You gotta watch what's goin' on
When the lights are out
When the night is dark
When there ain't nobody lookin' around
Yeah when the lights are out down
In this dirty little town
Now you swear that she trusted you
Within reason, I understand
But you kept slippin' in late at night
And in the mornin' you had
That smell on your hands
Well now the world is turning
Rome is burning
Me, I'm watching and I'm learning
They say sure as God's hand and
The tickin' of the clock
The lord's light'll shine under
Every slimy rock
Well last night, I slept the sleep of fear
And I heard God's voice whisper in my ear
He said you better watch what's going
On when the lights are out
When the night is dark
When there ain't nobody lookin' around
Yeah when the lights are out down
In this dirty little town
Down in this dirty little town
