Lyrics

[Verse 1]

When the music's over

When the music's over, yeah

When the music's over turn out the lights

Turn out the lights

Turn out the lights

[Verse 2]

Yeah

[Verse 3]

When the music's over

When the music's over

When the music's over turn out the lights

Turn out the lights

Turn out the lights

[Verse 4]

Well the music is your special friend

Dance on fires it intends

Music is your only friend

Until the end

Until the end

Until the end

[Verse 5]

Cancel my subscription to the resurrection

Send my credentials to the House of Detention

I got some friends inside

[Verse 6]

The face in the mirror won't stop

The girl in the window won't drop

A feast of friends, alive, she cried

Waitin' for me outside

[Verse 7]

Before I sink into the big sleep

I want to hear

I want to hear

The scream of the butterfly

[Verse 8]

Come back baby, back into my arm

We're gettin' tired of hangin' around, yeah

Waitin' around with our heads to the ground

[Verse 9]

I hear a very gentle sound

Very near, yet very far

Very soft, yet, very clear

Come today, baby, come today

[Verse 10]

What have they done to the earth?

What have they to our fair sister?

Ravaged and plundered and ripped her and bit her

Stuck her with knives in the side of the dawn

And tied her with fences and dragged her down

[Verse 11]

I hear a very gentle sound

With your ear down to the ground

We want the world and we want it

Now

Now

[Verse 12]

Persian night, babe

See the light, babe

Save us, yeah

[Verse 13]

So when the music's over

When the music's over, yeah

When the music's over turn out the lights

Turn out the lights

Turn out the lights

[Verse 14]

Well, the music is your special friend

Dance on fire as it intends

Music is your only friend

Until the end

Until the end

Until the end
