| Lyrics: | performed by 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
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, yeah
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
chorus
(Solo)
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're seeing someone else
When the lights go down (repeats
3x)
chorus
What you don't know can't hurt you (repeats out)
