Channel 3 - After The Lights Go Out lyrics

So you had a little lesson on life today Learned a little bit about the real way Took a little trip to the darker side Initiation to lust, greed and lies I'm sorry to hear that My broken friend Shall we sit and wait up for the end? Now she acts like she never cared Gave back the doll you won at the fair Gave back the letters and the pictures and things Only kept the pearls and the unpaid ring This ain't no book, man It's real life No perfect love, no starry nights What can we do? After the lights go out We're still not through After the lights go out We all knew long time ago but we let your dreams Live a few weeks more while you were home And reading Krantz She was out dancing every dance This ain't no book, man It's real life No perfect love, no starry nights What can we do? After the lights go out We're still not through After the lights go out What can we do? After the lights go out We're still not through After the lights go out Can't your reach exceed your grasp? Quit those tears, get off your a** Can't tell for sure if future looks bright But you can't paralyze last night This ain't no book, man It's real life No perfect love, no starry nights What can we do? After the lights go out We're still not through After the lights go out What can we do? After the lights go out What can we do? After the lights go out
