Benny lost his faith in a gambling spree
Had to leave this place get away from me
Oh 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
'Cause 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
Oh 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
'Cause 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
'Cause you don't wanna loose what you've found

And it's hard and it's hard to believe
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

Oh
No
No
No
