Took a walk down a dead end street
Looking for something
I never knew I left behind
Three wishes lay at my feet
Wasted on lies
Cluttering up my mind
Too much too little too late
Cos I'm crushed by the weight
And there ain't any breaks
Gonna come my way
I guess you heard it before
When I scratch at the door
And the neighbors are screaming out
Go away
CHORUS:
When the lights go down
Over my sorrow
When the lights go down
On all my dreams
I will be free
Took a look in my rear view mirror
The future was closing in fast
Soon it's gonna pass me by
Seems like every car on the road
Is newer and faster and cleaner
The bastards only wave bye bye
And I don't know why
CHORUS:
When the lights go down
Over my sorrow
When the lights go down
On all my dreams
I will wait my time
And try to remember
When the lights go down
I will be free
Took a drag on a cigarette
Trying to look cool
But man it don't work no more
Middle age is breathing down my neck
Got a wife and a kid and a life
With a mortgage I can't afford
Too much too little too late
So I made some mistakes
But I don't want to pay
Such a price this time
It's just no good any more
Cos I'm drunk and I'm sore
And I'm weak and I'm bored
Of the pain inside
It's a waste of time
REPEAT CHORUS
