Lyrics

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
