When The Lights Go Out — текст песни (Bruce Springsteen)

Well you say you have a friend

You trust him with your life

You trust him with your car, you trust him with your kids

You even trust him with your wife



You better watch whats going down when the lights go out

When the night is dark, when there aint nobody looking around

When the lights go out

Down in this dirty little town



Well now the world is dark and funny

You better listen to what I say

You aint gonna know whats going on

By what you see in the light of day



You better watch whats going on when the lights go out

When the night is dark, when there aint nobody looking around

When the lights go out

Down in this dirty little town



Well now baby she trusted billy

With reason you understand

But billy he kept coming home late at night

And in the morning he had that smell on his hand



Well now the world is turning

Rome is burning

Me Im watching

And Im learning

They say it sure is gods hand in the ticking of the clock

The lords light shining under every dirty rock



Well now last night I slept right here

And I heard gods voice whisper in my ear



You better watch whats going on when the lights go out

When the night is dark, when there aint nobody looking around

When the lights go out

Down in this dirty little town

Down in this dirty little town

Down in this dirty little town
