From the recording Lights Out
Lyrics
Up the gangway onto the ship
Rolling beads shifting over their hips
Come along, ‘fore too long
You’ll find the walls are closing in
Linen suits and wandering eyes
Rubies, lace, and diamonds entice
Come along, ‘fore too long
You’ll find the walls are closing in
Lights out! What do you know?
A loud crack and another one’s cold
Door’s locked, and there’s nowhere to go
Pop! Pop ‘n’ pop!
Drop to the floor
Jealous rage, a sinister plot
Cloud of smoke and the barrel’s still hot
Come along, ‘fore too long
You’ll find the walls are closing in
There she is just waving her fan
He can tell by the red on her hand
Come along, ‘fore too long
You’ll find the walls are closing in
Lights out! What do you know?
A loud crack and another one’s cold
Door’s locked, and there’s nowhere to go
Pop! Pop ‘n’ pop!
Drop to the floor
Bang, bang!
Bang, bang!
Bang, bang!
Bang, bang!
Come along, ‘fore too long
You’ll find the walls are closing in
Lights out! What do you know?
A loud crack and another one’s cold
Door’s locked, and there’s nowhere to go
Pop! Pop ‘n’ pop!
Drop to the floor
