When The Lights Go Out

Well you say you have a friendYou trust him with your lifeYou trust him with your car, you trust him with your kidsYou even trust him with your wifeYou better watch what's going down when the lights go outWhen the night is dark, when there ain't nobody looking aroundWHen the lights go outDown in this dirty little townWell now the world is dark and funnyYou better listen to what I sayYou ain't gonna know what's going onBy what you see in the light of dayYou better watch what's going on when the lights go outWhen the night is dark, when there ain't nobody looking aroundWhen the lights go outDown in this dirty little townWell now baby she trusted BillyWith reason you understandBut Billy he kept coming home late at nightAnd in the morning he had that smell on his handWell now the world is turningRome is burningMe I'm watchingAnd I'm learningThey say it sure is God's hand in the ticking of the clockthe Lord's light shining under every dirty rockWell now last night I slept right hereAnd I heard God's voice whisper in my earYou better watch what's going on when the lights go outWhen the night is dark, when there ain't nobody looking aroundWhen the lights go outDown in this dirty little townDown in this dirty little townDown in this dirty little town
