It's Friday night and the place is packed
Feels alright but it's not all that
Still you rock and roll till you lose control
How will it feel tomorrow'
Looking round for a cheaper love
Hope it helps but it never does
You need some peace of mind, of another kind
Something to ease your sorrow

Check, check, check it out
Here's what it's about
Hear, hear, hear me out
The lights are comin' on, lights are comin' on
If you've had enough
Want to give it up
You've got to listen up
The lights are comin' on, lights are comin' on
What you don't see are all the lies you've been drinking

That martini - symbolic of your thinking
You choke on the olive and when it comes clos
You pray for another chance to overdose
Well now my friends I've seen enough of this
I know there's more to life than this
And if you think I'm outspoken, at least you know
I'm not joking when I say something's got to change

Check, check, check it out
Here's what it's about
Hear, hear, hear me out
The lights are comin' on, lights are comin' on
If you've had enough
Want to give it up
You've got to listen up
The lights are comin' on, lights are comin' on

Is it everything you wanted'
After all is done was it worth it'
I'll tell you this, I'm not convinced
After everything you've tasted,
Is it any wonder you feel wasted'
Don't throw away your life today
