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 here on the floor
Where the children all stomped and screamed
Straight out the door
Well I find myself 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
And I find myself
Waiting to believe
On the floor
Where the mice call shots in the corner, that’s where I’ll be
Where 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
Well I find myself on my knees
Begging please
