I don¹t know where the years have gone  Memories can only last so long  Like faded photographs, forgotten songs  And the things I never knew  When the skin is thin, the heart shows through  Please believe me what I tell you is true  Where¹s the light, turn then on again  One more night to believe and then  Another note for my requiem  A memory to carry on  The story¹s over when the crowds are gone  All my friends have been crucified  They made life a long suicide true  Guess we never figured out the rules  But I¹m still alive and my fingers feel  I¹m gonna play on till the final reel¹s through  And read the credits from a different view  Where¹s the lights, turn them on again  One more night to believe and then  Another note for my requiem  A memory to carry on  The story¹s over when the crowds are gone  When the crowds are gone  And I¹m all alone  Playing a final song  Now that the lights are gone  Turn them on again  One more time for me my friend  Turn them on again  I never wanted to know  Never wanted to see  I wasted my time till time wasted me  Never wanted to go  Always wanted to stay  Cause the person I am are the parts that I play  So I play and I plan  And hope and I scheme  To the lure of a night  Filled with unfinished dreams  And I¹m holding on tight  To a world gone astray  As they charge me for years  I can no longer pay  And the lights  Turn them off my friend  And the ghosts  Well just let them in  Cause in the dark  It¹s easier to see
