The graffiti on the back stage wall
Gets painted over in a muted shade
And the club becomes an Old Navy

After the scene dies

When the last six-string slinger

Has to bow down for insurance
And accept the mundane
After the scene dies


When the last one leaves
And the last note fades

And the last dream's been put away
Shut the light off, shut the light off


When the front man turns to Jesus
And the drummer moves away
I'll still be doing what pleases me

After the scene dies

When the bartender passes and the owner cashes out

And they box up the glasses
And they take the sound system down
Guitars back in their cases, don't forget my fries

After the scene dies

When the last one leaves

And the last note fades
And the last dream's been put away
Shut the light off, shut the light off


After the scene dies
After the scene dies

After the scene dies
After the scene dies


What you gonna do when the club shuts down?
What you gonna do when the club shuts down?
What you gonna do when the club shuts down?

After the scene dies
