Lyrics

Don't it hurt so bad
Standin' in the sun
The bottom of your heart
You don't love no one
You can be
Oh, so mean
I just can't see
No in-between
You know what the sun's all about
When the lights go out
What a way to live
Back of your class
The end of the line
You're always last
You can be
Oh, so mean
I just can't see
No in-between
You know what the sun's all about
When the lights go out
See the moon
See the stars
From your lonely seat
In lonely cars
You can be
Oh, so mean
I just can't see
No in between
You know what the sun's all about
When the lights go out
Lights go out
Lights go out
Lights go out
Alright
