Lyrics When The Lights Go Down - Graham Parker

What you don′t know can't hurt you
What you can′t see can't get in the way
You turn out the light, things get clearer
I know there'll be a night
When you can′t find the switch
I′m half awake, I can't come to
My hands start to shake
As you′re shaking me down
And then you give yourself away with your kiss
Up until now it was something that I missed
I get the picture, but I just can't resist
And you imagine someone else
CHORUS
When the lights go down
When the lights go down
When the lights go down
When the lights go down
When the lights go down
What′s on your mind isn't in your arms
What′s in your hands isn't really mine
I'm not really here
They′re not my lips you kissed
I′m just a slave or a catalyst
Something's out of sync
Don′t tell me
I'm just a link that gets pulled from the chain
And every time I get you on your own
I still feel as though I′m all alone
It's just as well I′m not made out of stone
As you imagine someone else
(Repeat Chorus)
And then you give yourself away with your kiss
Up until now I thought it was something that I missed
I get the picture, but I just can't resist
And you're seeing someone else
(Repeat Chrorus)
When the lights go down
When the lights go down
When the lights go down
What you don′t know can′t hurt you...
