You're lookin' for something that jes' ain't there
When you open the lid there jes' ain't nothin' there

Shoot out the lights
Shoot out the lights
There's only one way out
Shoot out the lights

You got your eye on the sparrow from midnight to dawn
What you gonna do when that poor sparrow gone

Shoot out the lights
Shoot out the lights
There's only one way out
Shoot out the lights

You make front page news for being accused
Of everything you try
Let your hammer fly

You pulled some dirty tricks when you were down on your luck
Policeman say "turn the searchlights up"

Shoot out the lights
Shoot out the lights
There's only one way out
Shoot out the lights
