Janis Ian - Mistaken Identity lyrics

Where do ya go when the lights go out?
Where do ya go when all
The spotlights are out?
Where's the pain now? Where's your fame now?
What's your name now?

Nobody, just like anybody just like you

Memories you're too young to recall
They come turning you on
Sliding your back to the wall
Remember the first page
Remember the first stage
Have you memorized your new name?

Nobody, just like anybody just like you

What do you do when you're not recognized?
You run center stage, and you have a good cry
What if they forget your name?
What've you got to say?

"I'm nobody, just like anybody
I'm just like you"

When the evening's daylight comes
A-trickling into town
Then it is my time to mourn
Shadows whirling, swirling, yes
The dark sky is my friend
But come the morning our friendship ends
Evening time means more to me
Than any time was ever meant to be eeh, eeh

Lanterns float
The keepers close the gateways
To their stores
And the sleepers walk the halls
Blackness, silver dungeon rumors
Skeleton colored sun
Gets the city on the run
Evening time means more to me
Than any time was ever meant to be eeh, eeh

If I could only waltz forever
Down the paths invite
Led by a multicolored night
Shadow of blackness, he's my friend
He takes my worried hand
Guiding through a mystic, darkened land
Ah, evening time means more to me
Than any time was ever meant to be eeh, eeh

Ah, la la la la la la la
Ah, la la la la la la

Ah, evening time means more to me
Than any time was ever meant to be eeh, eeh

Ahh, ahh ahh, ahh
Ahh, ahh
