Michael Schenker - 'Lights Out' (ft. Jeff Scott Soto, John Norum)

Wind blows back and the batons charging
It winds all the way
Right to the butt of my gun
Maybe now your time has come

From the backstreets there's a rumblin'
Smell of anarchy
No more nice time, bright boy shoe shines
Pie in the sky dreams

Lights out, lights out in London
Hold 'em tight 'til the end
Better now you know we'll never
Wait until tomorrow
Lights out, lights out in London
Hold 'em tight 'til the end
God knows when
I'm comin' on my run

Heaven help those who help themselves
That's the way it goes
Frightening thoughts, what's been taught
And now it shows

Lights out, lights out in London
Hold 'em tight 'til the end
Better now, you know we'll never
Wait until tomorrow
Lights out, lights out in London
Hold 'em tight 'til the end
God knows when
I'm comin' on my run

Lights out, lights out in London
Hold 'em tight 'til the end
Better now you know we'll never
Wait until tomorrow
Lights out, lights out in London
Hold 'em tight 'til the end
God knows when
I'm comin' on my run

You keep comin', there's no runnin'
I tried a thousand times
Under your feet, the grass is growin'
Time we said, goodbye

Lights out, lights out in London
Hold 'em tight 'til the end
Better now you know we'll never
Wait 'til tomorrow
Lights out, lights out in London
Hold 'em tight 'til the end
God knows when
I'm comin' on my run

Lights out, lights out in London

Lights out, lights out in London
