As the lights grew dim
I was finally bound to give in
There was nothing to lose or win
As the lights grew dim
When the music stopped
Though it seemed that the band played on
There was nobody singing along
And the music stopped
Too tired and tattered
And too far of the map it seems
Deeper than the darkest dream
And broke beyond repair
Now future is just another word
Around these parts it's seldom heard
Can I get a sweet caress
Some tenderness or something fresh
Or get my money back
As the lights grew dim
I was finally bound to give in
There was nothing to lose or win
As the lights grew dim
