Lyrics

The lights are out at my house


The lights have been smashed out
at my house
the dogs have all been shot
the curtains pulled back
So everyone can see
how you've devestated me

The lights have gone out
at my house


You went back to that old man
with the creepin' hands
I can hear you moanin' at night
I can hear you sobbin' in the morn
All the freedom songs that we had sung
have been undone by your tongue

The lights have gone out
at my house


Though I'm bumpin' in the cellar
amongst the roots & jars
I can hear you bangin'
and wailin' at my door above
Your fists rattle my hinges
your cries shatter my defenses

But the lights have gone out
at my house
