And when the lights have all gone out
And when there’s no more twist and shout
After the silhouettes fade into grey
The seats are all empty
The crowd has gone home
The whiskey is heady
We’re here on our own
You stay to save us from ourselves
You say it’s us and no one else
Who needs an enemy?
With friends like the ones that we’ve lost (but it)
Never gets old
Never gets old
Though you told me the same thing before
This wasn’t our fault
The horses all bolted
Before we could close all the doors
Nobody’s breaking the law
And when the carousel has stopped
And when the frames have all been cropped
After the cigarettes burn into gray
You stay to save us from ourselves
You say it’s us and no one else
Who holds the remedy?
For gains ill begotten like these (still it)
Never gets old
Never gets old
Though you told me the same thing before
This wasn’t our fault
The horses all bolted
Before we could close all the doors
Nobody’s breaking the law
You stay until the morning bell
You say this place has gone to hell
Truth or dare is stranger than fiction
Nobody’s guilty at all
And nobody’s breaking the law
