You got your name in lights
But they can't seem to spell mine right
You sold a mil today
Today I'm lucky if I get paid
If I could get paid
I'd survive another day
Maybe if I could get played
They'd know my name

Your girls are fine it seems
A dime or two in every dozen
I only wanted one but I'm no one
So I get nothing
But all this nothing I've got
Is all that's keeping me tough
Maybe this thing I've got is enough

Ch.

When I'm alone and the lights go off
I'm never sure if I can make it that far
All that I know is
I want those
I want those
I want those flashing lights...

You dropped the class re-wrote the books
And I'm still trying to pass
I'm at the back, professor, a question
What is the secret to these (flashing lights)
Is it just make believe
It's not easy
Wish it as ABC

You did your time
You broke your wire
And now you got your shine
I'm in the line
Lost in the crowd
Still trying to figure it out

Still trying to do it right
Still trying to find the light
Maybe not tonight

Ch.

When I'm alone and the lights go off
I'm never sure if I can make it that far
All that I know is
I want those
I want those
I want those flashing lights...

When you're all alone and the lights go off
Did you always know that you would make it this far
All that I know is
I want those
I want those
I want those flashing lights...
