When The Lights Come On

(album: The Gang's All Here - 2022)

I'll meet you at the park at 11 and don't be late
You're in the right direction if you follow the lights down Broadway

Pass a gorilla while hes beating his chest
His girlfriend has a voodoo doll pinned to her vest
Don't worry 'bout 'em 'cause they're not gonna bother you. No
No
Don't be scared of the living dead
They never heard a single word I said

Does anybody know
Where we're gonna go
When the lights come on?
When the lights come on?
Does anybody know
Where we're gonna go
When the lights come on?

Tommy's at the bar and he's holding us a place
The corner Cleopatra has been giving me the look of deep disgrace

She's wearing Friday like her Sunday best
With some fat cat that she's laying to rest
You see her coming then you know we gotta hit the road

The city's sleeping on the village side
It ain't the same since Jimmy died

Does anybody know
Where we're gonna go
When the lights come on?
When the lights come on?
Does anybody know
Where we're gonna go
When the lights come on?

I'm barking at the moon
I'll be home, but it won't be soon
No!

Scary uncle Larry's got a 40 of propane
He's taking target practice in the corner on the downtown train

We jumped the gates and we ran outta sight
I'm in a taxi, but I'm caught at the light
I hope it's cool that I'm bringing a friend or two

I left my keys at the living end
Looks like I'm crashing at a stranger's again

Does anybody know
Where we're gonna go
When the lights come on?
When the lights come on?
Does anybody know
Where we're gonna go
When the lights come on?

Does anybody know
Where we're gonna go
When the lights come on?
When the lights come on?
Whoa, does anybody know
Where we're gonna go
When the lights come on?
