I don't know where the years have gone
Memories can only last so long
Like faded photographs, forgotten songs
And the things I never knew
When the skin is thin, the heart shows through
Please believe me what I tell you is true
Where's the lights, turn 'em on again
One more night to believe and then
Another note for my requiem
A memory to carry on
The story's over when the crowds have gone
Ooooh
verse 2
All my friends have been crucified
Made life a long suicide true
Guess we never figured out the rules
But I'm still alive, my fingers feel
Gonna play on till the final reel's through
And read the credits from a different view
Where's the lights, turn 'em on again
One more night to believe and then
Another note for my requiem
A memory to carry on
The story's over when the crowds have gone
SOLO
Bridge
When the crowds are gone
And I'm all alone
Playing the saddest song
Now that the lights are gone
Turn them on again
One more time for me my friend
Turn 'em on again
I never wanted to know
Never wanted to see
I wasted my time
Till time wasted me
Never wanted to go, always wanted to stay
'Cause the persons I am, are the parts that I play
So I plot and I plan
Hope and I scheme
To the lure of a night
Filled with unfinished dreams
I'm holding on tight, to a world gone astray
As they charge me for years
I can no longer pay
When the crowds are gone
Turn 'em on again
Turn 'em on again
Turn 'em on again
Turn 'em on again
Turn 'em on again
Turn 'em on again
I never wanted to know
Never wanted to see
I wasted my time
Till time wasted me
Never wanted to go, always wanted to stay
'Cause the person I am, are the parts I play
I plaaaay
I plaaaay
Aaah
And the lights
Turn then off my friend
And the ghosts
Well just let them in
Cause in the dark
It's easier
to seeeee
