[Verse 1]
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]
But still I happen to know
That when the lights get low
The places that the mind goes

[Verse 2]
If I don't hear you voice back on the telephone
If I don't read your name on any letter I open
Well I still keep on hoping
With every door as it opens you'll be standing on the other side

[Chorus 2]
Well experience shows
That when the lights get low
The places that the mind goes

[Bridge]
Why guess? Why look? Why ask? When still
You do the same
Cross out stars crossing once again
Whose star to blame?
[Chorus 3]
Yes I happen to know
Places that the mind goes

[Verse 3]
If I dissolve 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]
But I happen to know
That when the lights get low
Yes I happen to know
That when the lights get low
The places that the mind goes
