When the lights go down in the city
Getting real low
Settling in my room, i'm unnoticed
When the still comes in through the window
Letting me go
I feel a calm, come over me, on the floor

On the floor

Where the rats all come away clean
They're on the floor
Where the children all stomped and screamed
Straight out the door
Well i find my self on my knees
Begging please
When the lights go down in the city
And everyone goes to their room
Walking the trail
To dreamland

When the lights go down in the city
Something is roaring
I find myself
Waiting to believe

On the floor

Where the mice call shots
In the corner that's where i'll be
When the crickets come home and sing their symphony
Well i find myself on my knees

Begging please

On the floor
Facing the things i've done
Here on the floor
Where the years have gathered and run
That's where i'll be
And i find myself on my knees

Begging please
