Lyrics

I don�t know where the years have gone Mem-o-ries can on-ly last so long Like fad-ed phot-o-graphs, for-got-ten songs. And the things I nev-er knew When the skin is thin, the heart shows through. Please be-lieve me when I tell you it's true. Where's the lights, turn them on a-gain One more night to be-lieve and then A-noth-er note for my re-qui-em A mem-o-ry to car-ry on The stor-y's o-ver when the crowds are gone. Oh. All my friends have been cru-ci-fied, (they)made life a long su-i-cide; true. (I)guess we nev-er fig-ured out the rules. But I�m still a-live. My fing-ers feel. (I�m)gon-na play on 'til the fi-nal reel's through And read the cred-its from a diff-rent view. Where's the lights, turn them on a-gain One more night to be-lieve and then A-noth-er note for my re-qui-em A mem-o-ry to car-ry on The stor-y's o-ver when the crowds are gone. When the crowds are gone. When the crowds are gone And I'm all a-lone Play-ing the sad -dest song Now that the lights are gone! Turn them on a-gain One more time for me my friend! Turn them on a-gain! I nev-er want-ed to know, Nev-er want-ed to see I wast-ed my time 'til time wast-ed me! I nev-er want-ed to go, Al-ways want-ed to stay Cause the per-son I am; All the parts that I play! So I play and I plan, I hope and I scheme, To the lure of a night Filled with un-fin-ished dreams! I'm hold-ing on tight To a world gone a-stray As they charge me for years I can no long-er pay! Oh! When the crowds are gone. Turn 'em on a-gain! Turn 'em on a-gain! Turn 'em on a-gain! Turn 'em on a-gain! Turn 'em on a-gain! Turn 'em on a-gain! (I nev-er) (per-son I am; All the parts I play! I play! I play! oh. And the lights Turn them off my friend And the ghosts Well just let them in Cause in the dark It�s easier to see

Notice

I merely fixed some mistakes in the song & added the lyrics. This was originally done by mike_m@dreamtheater.zzn.com & he did an excellent job.
