Benny lost faith in a gambling spree Had to leave this place get away from me We'll meet again Maybe introduced as friends He'll come around in awhile but it's so hard to see when the lights go down And it's hard to believe when the lights go down And you shake in your shoes sitting next to the blues 'Cause you don't want to lose what you've found Then he wants to run but he stands his ground Sick of those big boys pushing him around Here comes a crowd They don't care what it's about Somebody's son's going down And it's so hard to see when the lights go down And it's hard to believe when the lights go down All the animals know when the fire is low 'Cause the wind starts to blow on the ground Went away on Sunday Had a glass of wine on Monday All by yourself in your room And it's hard to believe when the lights go down And it's so hard to see when the lights go down And you shake in your shoes sitting next to the blues 'Cause you don't want to lose what you've found And it's hard to believe And it's so hard to see when the lights go down
