Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Yeah, come on
[Verse 2]
Yeah!
[Verse 3]
When the music's over
When the music's over, yeah
When the music's over
Turn out the lights
Turn out the lights
Turn out the lights
Yeah
[Verse 4]
When the music's over
When the music's over
When the music's over
Turn out the lights
Turn out the lights
Turn out the lights
[Verse 5]
When the music is your special friend
Dance on fire as it intends
Music is your only friend
Until the end
Until the end
Until the end
[Verse 6]
Cancel my subscription to the Resurrection
Send my credentials to the House of Detention
I got some friends inside
[Verse 7]
The face in the mirror won't stop
The girl in the window won't drop
A feast of friends, "Alive!" she cried
Waiting for me outside
[Verse 8]
Before I sink into the big sleep
I want to hear
I want to hear
The scream of the butterfly
[Verse 9]
Come back, baby
Back into my arm
We're gettin' tired of hangin' around
Waitin' around with our heads to the ground
I hear a very gentle sound
[Verse 10]
Very near yet, very far
Very soft, yeah, very clear
Come today, come today
[Verse 11]
What have they done to the earth, yeah?
What have they done to our fair sister?
Ravaged and plundered and ripped her and bit her
Stuck her with knives in the side of the dawn
And tied her with fences and dragged her down
[Verse 12]
I hear a very gentle sound
With your ear down to the ground
We want the world and we want it
We want the world and we want it
Now
Now?
Now!
[Verse 13]
Persian night babe
See the light, babe
Save us
Jesus
Save us
[Verse 14]
So when the music's over
When the music's over, yeah
When the music's over
Turn out the lights
Turn out the lights
Turn out the lights
[Verse 15]
Well, the music is your special friend
Dance on fire as it intends
Music is your only friend
Until the end
Until the end
Until the end
