When the Lights Go Out Lyrics by Naked Eyes

Burning Bridges

1983

[Verse 1]
Susie doesn't go out very much
She likes to stay in bed at night
It seems that everything is all too much
But she just lays in bed at night
[Pre-Chorus]
The day's all right but then...
[Chorus]
When the lights go out
She calls your name
When the lights go out
Always the same
Always someone left out in the rain
It's always the same
[Verse 2]
She's the kind who needs the tender touch
She never wants to compromise
What you thought you'd never have, gets up
And disappears before your eyes
[Pre-Chorus]
The day's all right but then...
[Chorus]
When the lights go out
She calls your name
When the lights go out
Always the same
Always someone left out in the rain
It's always the same
It's always the same
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Pre-Chorus]
The day's all right but then...
[Chorus]
When the lights go out
She calls your name
When the lights go out
Always the same
Always someone left out in the rain
It's always the same
[Pre-Chorus]
The day's all right but then...
[Outro]
When the lights go out
She calls your name
When the lights go out
Always the same
Always someone left out in the rain
It's always the same
It's always the same
It's always the same
It's always the same
