There Was A Lights Out Television Show

There Was An Amos And Andy On The Radio

And A Man On A Hill Runnin' Round Don't You Know

Sayin' "ev'rybody Here Got To Go"

Sayin' "ev'rybody Here Got To Go"



There Were Some People Out In Hollywood

The Words They Had Spoken It Was Well Understood

But Three Thousand Miles And For Ev'ryone's Good

A Man Stood Singing His Song



Dancin' Around All The Tombstones He Said

"That A Man If He's Livin' Would Rather Be Dead"

And He Opened The Eyes To The Typewriter Lead

And He Said, "Now It Won't Be Too Long."

(Repeat Chorus)



The People They Gathered From Miles All Around

Like A Sunday In Salem They All Could Be Found

And The Lights All Went Out With A Deafening Sound

As The Church Bells Rang Once Again



The Curtains Were Drawn And The Prophets Had Cried

When Somebody Screamed That The Joker Had Lied

But The Damage Was Done And The Saints Crucified

And The Truth Will Be Lost Till The End

(Repeat Chorus)
