Where's the lights, turn 'em on again, one more night, to believe and then
Another note for my requiem, a memory to carry on
The story's over, when the crowds have gone

When the crowds are gone, and I'm all alone, playing the saddest song, now that the lights are gone
Turn them on again, one more time for me my friend, turn 'em on again!

So I play and I plan, and hope and I scheme, to the lure of a night, filled with unfinished dreams
And I'm holding on tight, to a world gone astray, as they charge me for years... I can  no  longer  pay!

And the lights, turn them off my friend. And the ghosts? Well just let them in
Cause in the dark, it's easier ...to see.
