After the Lights Go Out - Channel 3

So you had a little lesson on life today

Learned a little bit about the real way

Took a little trip to the darker side

Initiation to lust, greed and lies

I’m sorry to hear that

My broken friend

Shall we sit and wait up for the end?

Now she acts like she never cared

Gave back the doll you won at the fair

Gave back the letters and the pictures and things

Only kept the pearls and the unpaid ring

This ain’t no book, man

It’s real life

No perfect love, no starry nights

What can we do?

After the lights go out

We’re still not through

After the lights go out

We all knew long time ago but we let your dreams

Live a few weeks more while you were home

And reading Krantz

She was out dancing every dance

This ain’t no book, man

It’s real life

No perfect love, no starry nights

What can we do?

After the lights go out

We’re still not through

After the lights go out

What can we do?

After the lights go out

We’re still not through

After the lights go out

Can’t your reach exceed your grasp?

Quit those tears, get off your ass

Can’t tell for sure if future looks bright

But you can’t paralyze last night

This ain’t no book, man

It’s real life

No perfect love, no starry nights

What can we do?

After the lights go out

We’re still not through

After the lights go out

What can we do?

After the lights go out

What can we do?

After the lights go out
