[Verse 1: Nick Hexum]
If I don't have to ride your rollercoaster anymore
Then I won't wait in line like all the other poor souls
Waiting just to be told that your ride's oversold
And I don't have to worry about that anymore
[Chorus 1: Nick Hexum, Alan Hampton]
But still I happen to know (Know, know, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
That when the lights get low (Low, low, oh-oh, oh-oh)
The places that the mind goes
[Verse 2: Nick Hexum with Alan Hampton]
If I don't hear you voice back on the telephone (No-oh)
If I don't read your name on any letter I open
Will I still keep on hopin' with every door as it opens
You'll be standin' on the other side?
[Chorus 2: Nick Hexum, Alan Hampton]
Well experience shows (Show, oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
That when the lights get low (Low, low, oh-oh, oh-oh)
The places that the mind goes
[Bridge: Nick Hexum with Alan Hampton]
Why guess, why look, why ask, when still
You'd do the same? (Oh-oh-oh)
Cross out stars crossin' once again
Whose star to blame? (Blame)
[Chorus 3: Nick Hexum]
Yes I happen to know
Places that the mind goes
[Verse 3: Nick Hexum with Alan Hampton]
Divide this all by two, would you agree with me at all?
Mark it in your blueprints on the cutting room floor
Making changes as you go, they're almost ready to show
I don't have to worry about you anymore
[Chorus 4: Nick Hexum, Alan Hampton]
But I happen to know (Know, know, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
That when the lights get low (Low, low, oh-oh, oh-oh)
Yes I happen to know (Know, know, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
That when the lights get low (Low, oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
The places that the mind goes
