[Verse 1] When the lights go down in the city getting real low Settling in my room I'm unnoticed When the still comes in through my window Letting me go I feel a calm, come over me On the floor [Hook] On the floor where the rats all come away clean There on the floor Where the children all stomped and screamed Straight out the door Where I find myself on my knees Begging please [Verse 2] When the lights go down in the city And everyone goes To their room, walking the trail To dreamland When the lights go down in the city Something is roaring I find myself waiting to believe [Hook] On the floor Where the mice call shots in the corner That's where I'll be When the crickets come home and sing their symphony Where I find myself on my knees Begging please On the floor They've seen the things I've done here On the floor Where the years have gathered and run that's where I'll be And I find myself on my knees Begging please
