Shoot the Lights Out

Somebody rolled a seven

Somebody somewhere screamed

It's five o'clock in the morning

One more casino dream

I could use a shave now

I'm packing up my things

Maybe I'll see you in Dallas

Or maybe I'll never see you again

I'll leave my chips in the wall safe

The room is paid in full

Stay as long as you want to

Then shoot the lights out when you go

Take the money

Pull the walls down

Then shoot the lights out when you go

I see you from this bar here

Through a smoky haze

You shimmer in your evening gown

Your lucky pretty face

I'll be gone when you read this

What you and I both know

That this is probably the last time

Please shoot the lights out when you go

Take the money

Pull the walls down

Then shoot the lights out when you go

Then shoot the lights out when you go

We're running on a roulette wheel

With every step it slows

I'll meet you out on Main Street

Of any American town

I filled the room with flowers

But now their heads hang down

Your baby hairs on the damp sheet

And the curtains pulled in to stop the dawn

And blurry scenes and stifled screams

And too much time on the floor

There's only one way to end these things

Please shoot the lights out when you go

Take the money

Pull the walls down

Then shoot the lights out when you go

Then shoot the lights out

Shoot the lights out
