Lyric When The Lights Go Down

(performed by Graham Parker)

What you don t know can t hurt you, what you can t see can t get in the way
You turn out the light, things get clearer
I know there ll be a night when you can t find the switch
I m half awake, I can t come to
My hands start to shake as you re shaking me down

And then you give yourself away with your kiss
Up until now it was something that I missed
I get the picture, but I just can t resist, and you imagine someone else

Chorus:
When the lights go down, when the lights go down
When the lights go down, when the lights go down

What s on your mind isn t in your arms, what s in your hands isn t really mine
I m not really here, they re not my lips you kissed
I m just a slave or a catalyst, yeah
Something s out of sync
Don t tell me I m just a link that gets pulled from the chain

And every time I get you on your own, I still feel as though I m all alone
It s just as well I m not made out of stone, as you imagine someone else

chorus

(Solo)

And then you give yourself away with your kiss
Up until now it was something that I missed
I get the picture, but I just can t resist, and you re seeing someone else

When the lights go down (repeats 3x)

chorus

What you don t know can t hurt you (repeats out)
