On the Floor

[Verse 1]

When the lights go down in the city

Getting real low

Settling in my room

I'm unnoticed

When the still comes in through my window

Letting me go

And I feel a calm, come over me

On the floor

[Chorus]

On the floor

Where the rats all come away clean

There on the floor

Where the children all stomped and screamed

Straight out the door

Where I find myself on my knees

Begging please

[Verse 2]

When the lights go down in the city

And everyone goes

To their room, walking the trail

To dreamland

When the lights go down in the city

Something is roaring

And I find myself

Waiting to believe

[Chorus 2]

On the floor

Where the mice call shots in the corner

That's where I'll be

When the crickets come home and sing their symphony

Where I find myself on my knees

Begging please

[Chorus 3]

On the floor

Facing the things I've done

Here on the floor

Where the years have gathered and run

That's where I'll be

And I find myself on my knees

Begging please
