Lyrics...

I'll be the last one to know,
When the lights go out,
I've been living in the dark,
With my fear and doubts,
It doesn't really matter,
What offer you propose
Because every day is wasted,
As I slowly decompose.

We rise and we fall,
Then the rubber hits the road,
We drive overnight,
It's never easy so I'm told
And the song that is playing,
Takes me back to my youth,
At journeys end,
I'll stop and face the truth.

Oh somebody hold me,
I think I've lost it all
Won't somebody ask me,
Was it worth it all
Oh somebody take me
I think I've lost my way
Oh somebody kiss me
And make me live again

With all my days numbered
From the first until last
You'd think I'd had a ball
Well you'd think I'd had a blast
I drank all my tequila
My whisky and wine
To drown out all the noise
And passage of time

As my memories dim
In the cold light of day
I'll politely ask you
If I should have stayed
As I feel the earth shifting
Here beneath my feet
The drummers are marching
To the sound of a different beat

Oh somebody hold me
I think I've lost it all
Won't somebody ask me
Was it worth it all
Oh somebody take me
I think I've lost my way
Oh somebody kiss me
And make me live again

When the lights go out
Remember me
When the lights go out
Remember me
When the lights…

Melancholy Blue

When the Lights go Out

When The Lights Go Out
