on the floor

Brandon Flowers

When the lights go down
In the city
Getting real low
Settling in my room,
I'm unnoticed
When the still comes
In through the window
Letting me go
I feel a calm,
Come over me,
On the floor...

On the floor...

Where the rats
All come away clean
They're on the floor
Where the children
All stomped and screamed
Straight out the door
Well i find my self
On my knees
Begging please
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
I find myself
Waiting to believe...

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
Well i find myself on my knees...

Begging please...

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...
