Lights out shut down late night wet ground
You walk by look at him but he can't look at you yeah
You might feel pity but he only feels the ground because
You understand love but he only knows let down
By the corner there's another one

Well, you try to live but he's done tryin
Not dead but definitely dyin'
With the rest of the clowns yeah yeah
Rest of the clowns yeah yeah
Sweeping the floors
Open up the doors
Yeah, turn on the lights
Getting ready for the night
Nobody's romancing
'Cause it's too early for dancing
But here comes the music.
