Bruce Springsteen - When The Lights Go Out lyrics

Now you say you have a friend, you trust him with your life

You trust him with your money, you trust him with your kids

You'd even trust him with your wife

You better watch what's goin' on when the lights are out

When the night is dark, when there ain't nobody lookin' around

Yeah when the lights are out, down in this dirty little town

Well now the world is dark and funny, better listen up to what I say

You ain't gonna know what's going on by what you see in the light of day

You gotta watch what's goin' on when the lights are out

When the night is dark, when there ain't nobody lookin' around

Yeah when the lights are out in this dirty little town

Now you swear that she trusted you

Within reason I understand

But you kept slippin' in late at night

And in the mornin' you had that smell on your hands

Well now the world is turning, Rome is burning

Me, I'm watching and I'm learning

They say sure as God's hand and the tickin' of the clock

The lord's light'll shine under every slimy rock

Well last night I slept the sleep of fear

And I heard God's voice whisper in my ear

He said you better watch what's going on when the lights are out

When the night is dark, when there ain't nobody lookin' around

Yeah when the lights are out, down in this dirty little town
