Lyrics:
Every night the lights go out
The present's dim crescent a narrow slit
The same lights off a dusty mirror
Are casting contrasting reflections back
Don't let the lights, don't let the lights go
Every night the lights go on
They shine on things that aren't important
Or they point at things that haven't happened
Adding details that you hadn't noticed
Don't let the lights, don't let the lights
Don't let the lights go out!
Every night the lights go up
Splashing the things that you hadn't thought of
Spinning a scene from your first impressions
Revealing new places and feelings you'll find
When the lights come on!
Don't let the lights, don't let the lights
Don't let the lights go out! ...
Don't let the lights go out for good!
