On the Floor

When the lights go down in the city Getting real low Settling in my room, I'm unnoticed When the still comes in through my window Letting me go I feel a calm come over me, on the floor On the floor Where the rats all come away clean, there on the floor Where the children all stomped and screamed straight out the door Well, I find myself on my knees Begging please When the lights go down in the city And everyone goes To their room, walking the trail to dreamland When the lights go down in the city Something is roaring I find myself waiting to believe On the floor Where the mice call shots in the corner, that's where I'll be When the crickets come home and sing their symphony Well, I find myself on my knees Begging please On the floor Facing the things I've done, here on the floor Where the years have gathered and run, that's where I'll be And I find myself on my knees Begging please
