When the Lights Come On

[Verse 1] I'll make a reckless prediction I'll still be in the kitchen when the lights come on I think we'll probably be good If stuff is still where it stood when the lights come on [Verse 2] We won't remember each other But we'll probably recover unless everyone's gone It might be too soon to say this But I think that we may just see the lights come on [Chorus] See, I've been picturing Diagrams of master plans I taught myself to draw in the dust With what remains of my left hand [Verse 3] And from what I can tell I'll be no more than a shell or an automaton But we'll be laughing and, shit, it will have been worth it When the lights come on [Bridge] Unless we chicken out again Which is exactly how we ended up in here Our guard was down, we were disarmed They tampered with the smoke alarm [Verse 4] There won't be any more trouble You'll be dragged from the rubble when the lights come on And I'll be looking so great I will have lost some weight when the lights come on [Verse 5] We will be growing mustaches Once we're raised from the ashes when the lights come on We'll be encased in gold Desiccated and old when the lights come on [Chorus] See, I've been picturing Diagrams of master plans I taught myself to draw in the dust With what remains of my left hand [Bridge] And from what I can tell Groping around, there's something else I feel a face, I feel a pulse I think I'm tripping, something's got me by the hair Let's table this discussion Until my concussion on the bottom stair [Outro] Unless I pass out once again And find the bandage where my kidney used to be Knocked-over lamp, some broken plates Prescription pads for opiates
