When The Lights Are Out
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
If the light is out and been sitting pretty
Scream that pitiful scream
When the light is out will be blown and willing
Better watch were I lean
When you gaze into a crystal ball
You'll see nothing's gonna change at all
You'll see nothing's gonna happen over night
So please
When the lights are out
When I hear you sigh
Let me feel your warm breath on my neck
It makes me hit the sky
When the lights are out
When I hear you sigh
Let me feel your warm breath on my neck
It makes me hit the sky
When your will is burned you can blow me over
Blow me beautiful blow
If a nail is stuck you can turn me under
Wind up ready go
When you gaze into a crystal ball
You'll see nothing's gonna change at all
You'll see nothing's gonna happen over night
So please
When the lights are out
When I hear you sigh
Let me feel your warm breath on my neck
It makes me hit the sky
When the lights are out
When I hear you sigh
Let me feel your warm breath on my neck
It makes me hit the sky
When the lights are out
When you gaze into a crystal ball
You'll see nothing's gonna change at all
You'll see nothing's gonna happen over night
So please
When the lights are out
When I hear you sigh
Let me feel your warm breath on my neck
It makes me hit the sky
When the lights are out……………………
