When the Music's Over

Well the music is your special friend
Stuck her with knives in the side of the dawn

Dance on fire as it intends

Very soft, yeah, very clear
The face in the mirror won't stop
We want the world and we want it
Now, now
When the music's over

We're gettin' tired of hangin' around

We want the world and we want it now
Music is your only friend until the end
Persian night, babe
Come today, come today
Cancel my subscription to the Resurrection

Very near yet very far
The scream of the butterfly
What have they done to our fair sister?
Turn out the lights, turn out the lights, yeah
Music is your only friend until the end
Waitin' for me outside
When the music's over, yeah

Until the end, until the end
Turn out the lights, turn out the lights
Come back baby, back into my arm
What have they done to the earth?
When the music's over turn out the lights
The girl in the window won't drop
And tied her with fences and dragged her down
I hear a very gentle sound
When the music's over, turn out the lights
So when the music's over
With your ear down to the ground
When the music's over
When the music's over, yeah
For the music is your special friend
Waitin' around with our heads to the ground
A feast of friends, "Alive!" she cried
I hear a very gentle sound

Send my credentials to the House of Detention
I want to hear, I want to hear
I got some friends inside
Save us, Jesus, save us
When the music's over, turn out the lights
When the music's over
Ravaged and plundered and ripped her and bit her
Before I sink into the big sleep
Dance on fire as it intends
See the light, babe
Turn out the lights, turn out the lights
