I don't know where the years have gone
Memories can only last so long
Like faded photographs
Forgotten songs
And the things, I never knew
When the skin is thin the heart shows through
Please believe me
What I tell you is true
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 are gone
All my friends have been crucified
Made life a long suicide true
Guess we never figured out the rules
But I'm still alive
My fingers feel
Gonna play on
Till the final reel's through
And read the credits from a different view
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 are gone
When the crowds are gone
And I'm all alone
Playing a saddest song
Now that the lights are gone
Turn 'em on again
One more time for me my friend
Turn 'em on again
I never wanted to know, never wanted to see
I wasted my time til time wasted me
Never wanted to go, always wanted to stay
Cuz the person I am are the parts that I play
So I plot and I plan, and I hope and I scheme
To the lure of the night, filled with unpleasant dreams
And I'm holding on tight to a world gone astray
As they charge me for years I can no longer pay
When the crowds are gone
Turn 'em on again
Turn 'em on again
Turn 'em on again
Turn 'em on again
Turn 'em on again
Turn 'em on again
I never wanted to know, never wanted to see
I wasted my time til time wasted me
Never wanted to go, always wanted to stay
Cuz the person I am are the parts that I play
I play
I play
And the lights, turn 'em off my friend
And the ghosts, well just let them in
Cuz in the dark
It's easier
To see
