When The Lights Go Out Lyrics - Happy Planet - Wall Of Voodoo

Jimmy, Jimmy, 

where have you been? We had a date. 

It's four am and you're 

five hours late again. 

Jimmy said he had a feeling tonight... 

He couldn't go to sleep, 

it was getting light... 

Drank some coffee and I got a buzz, 

so I got myself a fifth with a friend. 

And then the lights go out, and 

he said it'll be the same as yesterday, 

Hey-hey. 

When the lights go out, 

it'll be the same, 

Hey-hey. 

Simi Valley, where the hell is that? 

When I woke up, I swore I'd quit, 

no more, no more, I swore I swore. 

And then the lights go out, and 

he said it'll be the same as yesterday, 

Hey-hey. 

When the lights go out, 

it'll be the same, 

Hey-hey.
