Benny lost his faith in a gambling spree,
had to leave this place get away from me
ohhh ohh we'll meet again,
maybe introduced as friends,
he'll come around in a while

But it's so hard to see when the lights go down,
and it's hard to believe when the lights go down
And you shake in your shoes,
sitting next to the blues,
'cos you don't wanna loose what you've found

Benny wants to run but he stands his ground,
sick of those big boys pushing him around,
ohhh ohh here comes a crowd,
they don't care what it's about,
somebody's son's going down

And it's so hard to see when the lights go down,
and it's hard to believe when the lights go down
All the animals know when the fire is low,
'cos the wind starts to blow,
on the ground

Went away on a sunday,
had a glass of wine on monday,
all by yourself in your room

And it's hard to believe when the lights go down,
and it's so hard to see when the lights go down
And you shake in your shoes,
sitting next to the blues,
'cos you don't wanna loose what you've found

And it's hard and it's hard to see,
and it's hard, hard hard hard hard to see,
when the lights go,
when the lights go down down down down down down down down
Ohhhhh ohh no no no no no no, no no, no no, noo noo,
mmmm,
ohhhh
