There is an anxious shiver
over this city tonight
This city tonight too many lights
You know where to go
and when to show
Never mind the scars of this
city of oh too many fights
We were never afraid before
we were never afraid before
We were never looking
over our shoulders
and we were never
Never locking our doors
When did the lights go out
When did the lights go out
When did the lights go out
You know there ain’t no one
looking after us
There ain’t no one here
to tell you what to do
So in love in all this falling
over bleeding hearts
You know their ain’t no one
to blame out here but you
So all you people keep on
keeping your windows closed
Pudding want the old
sunshine through
Heating up our houses
with electric lights
And heating up our hearts over
lies and lies and lies
When did the lights go out
When did the lights go out
When did the lights go out
When did the lights go out
When did the lights go out
When did the lights go out
When did the lights go out
When did the lights go out
When did the lights go out
