The lights are coming on And all your candy's gone Spinning through the previews Flipping through the seats Popcorn in your loafers Sugar in your teeth You say, the lovers in your life Should listen to you more But you can tell that to the usher Showing you door "All the lights are on And all my candy's gone" I was a fool, I was blind I kept my eyes shut half the time All the lights, one by one, here they come On a sparking subway train Breaking through a tunnel underneath broadway With one arm waving wild At some kids on the other side And one arm on my shoulder Wrapped around my shoulder I was a fool, I was blind I kept my eyes shut half the time All the lights, one by one, here they come Take the hand that's reaching towards you When the shadow stands before you Arm and arm with a uniform Gonna swing you, right through the front door I was a fool, I was blind I kept my eyes shut half the time All the lights, one by one, here they come I was a fool, I was blind I kept my eyes shut half the time All the lights, one by one, here they come
