On the Floor

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

I feel the calm come over me on the floorOn the floor

Where the rats all come away clean there on the floor

Where the children all stomp and scream straight out the door

Well, I find myself on my knees begging pleaseWhen the lights go down in the city and everyone goes

To their room walking their trail to dreamland

When the lights go down in the city, something is roaring

I find myself waiting to believeOn 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

When I find myself on my knees begging please
