On the edge of city boulevard
You'll find a lonely streetlight
It stands twinkling in the night
I'd like to put it out.

You'll find it walking southward
It will be shinning bright
That annoying twinkling light
I'd like to put it out.

I hate freaking light
I hate the summer glare
They miss the calm of darkness
And the chill of cold night air.

Our kids will never see the stars
For all the background light
So come and join my struggle
Come and join my fight
Lets make eternal night.

When my years were fewer
My future seemed so bright
But now it's just the fight
I'd like to put it out.
I don't care about a reason
Don't need a cause that's right
All I need to know the light
Is gonna be put out.
