Where the Lights Hang Low Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There's a place I go
Where the lights hang low
The walls are stale from a thousand Marlborough lights
And the carpet tells a tale of a thousand Friday nights

[Verse 2]
There's a man outside
Big black holes for eyes
Biting down on burnt out cigars
Plays forgotten songs on broken guitars

[Chorus]
There's a place I go
Where the lights hang low

[Verse 3]
There's a place I've found
On the edge of town
Where all the girls dress in angelic white
But age is so unkind under florescent lights

[Verse 4]
And there's a man by the door
Neatly stitched to the floor
He's sat there for a thousand years
And he'll sit there for a thousand more
[Chorus]
There's a place I go
Where the lights hang low
Oh there's a place I go
Where the lights hang low

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
