There is an anxious shiver over this city tonight This city tonight too many lights You know where to go and when to show Never mind the scars of this city of oh too many fights We were never afraid before, we were never afraid before We were never looking over our shoulders and we were never Never locking our doors
When did the lights go out When did the lights go out When did the lights go out
You know there ain’t no one looking after us There ain’t no one here to tell you what to do So in love in all this falling over bleeding hearts You know their ain’t no one to blame out here but you So all you people keep on keeping your windows closed Pudding want the old sunshine through Heating up our houses with electric lights And heating up our hearts over lies and lies and lies
When did the lights go out When did the lights go out When did the lights go out
When did the lights go out When did the lights go out When did the lights go out
When did the lights go out When did the lights go out When did the lights go out
