lyrics

She don't like the way the light falls right off her face
but she's got a good body, good body
And everywhere she goes everybody knows her name
They're singing Lay-lay-lay-lay-lay-lay-la
She tells her boy she's going out for the night
and he pretends that it's alright
cuz what's he gona' say
nothing comes easy today
She found out the hard way

You look better with the lights out, with the lights out,
but you're never gonna' find a way to escape
with the lights out, with the lights out!

She's in love with a boy from East LA
he wants to be somebody-somebody
It's hard to dream when the cities got it's foot on your face
he does it for Lay-lay-lay-lay-lay-lay-la
and so he hangs in the shadows at night
get what you want best be ready to fight
but what's she gonna' say
nothing comes easy today
he found out the hard way

You look better with the sundown and the lights out and the lights out
but you're never gonna' find a way to escape
with the lights out, with the lights out!
It's okay to be who you hate with the lights out with the lights out
but you're never gonna' rise above this place
with the lights out with the lights out!

So cut the chord and run away
Cuz no one said you can't be who you wanna be

You never really had a say-so
until you got yourself a pistol
and then you shot away your halo
and now you're never gonna' go home

You look better with the lights out, with the lights out,
but you're never gonna' find a way to escape
with the lights out, with the lights out!
