When the Lights Come On
Meet you at 11 by the park and don’t be late
Youre in the right direction if you follow the lights down broadway
Pass a gorilla while hes beatin his chest
His girlfriend has a voodoo doll pinned to her vest
Don’t worry ‘bout ‘em cuz theyre not gonna bother you
Don’t be scared of the living dead
They never heard a single word I said
Does anybody know
Where we’re gonna go when the lights come on
Does anybody know
Where we’re gonna go when the lights. Come. On.
Tommy’s at the bar and he’s holding us a place
The corner cleopatra has been giving me the look of deep disgrace
She’s wearing friday like her sunday best
With some fat cat that she’s laying to rest
You see her coming then you know we gotta hit the road
The city’s sleeping on the village side
It aint the same since Jimmy died
Does anybody know
Where we’re gonna go when the lights come on
Does anybody know
Where we’re gonna go when the lights. Come. On.
I’m barking at the moon
I’ll be home, but it won’t be soon. No!
Scary uncle Larry’s got a 40 of propane
He’s taking target practice in the corner on the downtown train
We jumped the gates and we ran outa sight
I’m in a taxi, but I’m caught at the light
I hope it’s cool that I‘m bringing a friend or two
I left my keys at the living end
Looks like I‘m crashing at a stranger’s again
