Wall Of Voodoo - When the Lights Go Out lyrics

Jimmy, Jimmy, where have you been? We had a date. It's four am and you're five hours late again. Jimmy said he had a feeling tonight... He couldn't go to sleep, it was getting light... Drank some coffee and I got a buzz, so I got myself a fifth with a friend. And then the lights go out, and he said it'll be the same as yesterday, Hey-hey. When the lights go out, it'll be the same, Hey-hey. Simi Valley, where the hell is that? When I woke up, I swore I'd quit, no more, no more, I swore I swore. And then the lights go out, and he said it'll be the same as yesterday, Hey-hey. When the lights go out, it'll be the same, Hey-hey. I slept with the door unlocked when I left her... I thought she might come back, even though I knew her better than that, and I was better off, I did it anyway.... I'd wake and hear her voice decay into police sirens far away. Jimmy said he had a feeling tonight... He couldn't go to sleep, it was getting light... And then the lights go out...
