When the Lights Went Out

Tim Easton

You came into town with your sirens on
No edge lines and the median blown
Making enemies out of your old friends
They once ran with you
But never again

So you punch your way out of the door
Can't come back here anymore
It was up to you, now it's all downhill
Don't wanna walk away, but I know you will

Are you more afraid of good luck when you're down
Or the bad luck that follows your name
The only time the bad luck ever dropped
You never got up, you never got up again
You never got up again

When the lights went out, you were three feet high
Missing four days, yet no one cared why
There was nothing there but your last day
You laid down alone and you died that way

She walked by as the line came 'round
She looked you up, but mostly down
You made an enemy, out of your dear friend
She once ran to you, but never again
Are you more afraid of good luck when you're down
Or the bad luck that follows your name
The only time the bad luck ever dropped
You never got up, you never got up again
You never got up again
Again... again... again
