"This song is dedicated to a little buddy of mine that
took his life in a mental institution two years ago."


[Chorus]
All the lights are on but there ain't nobody home,
All that time on cheap red wine and carryin' on and on.

I kept on messin' with my mind 'till all my sense was gone
And now all the lights are on but there ain't nobody home.


When I joined the army, I learned how to drink
And smoke them funny cigarettes and wind up in the clink.
I found out all about cheap thrills and eating them little funny pills,

And did you know that speed kills - quicker than a wink.
[Chorus]
And Now all the lights are on but there ain't nobody home,

Smoke and drink experiments, and havin' too much fun
I kept on messing with my mind 'till all my sense was gone.
And now all the lights are on but there ain't nobody home.


[16 Bar Ride]
They sent me to the doctor, tryin' to straighten out my head.

He took me in and strapped me down in an electric bed,
Then shoved me here and shocked me there and, of course, cut off my hair
And I ended up without a care - I might as well be dead.


(Chorus)
Now all the lights are on but there ain't nobody home.

All that time on cheap red wine and carryin' on and on.
I kept on messin' with my mind 'till all my sense was gone
And now all the lights are gone but there ain't nobody home.


[First 3] Now smoke and drink and funny pills might be the thing for you.
Lines Slow) And if you think that you're so smart I'll tell you what you do

Come and see me anytime, bring some weed and a couple lines
And don't forget about the wine -- or you can't join the crew.
(Chorus)

Yeah all the lights are on but there ain't nobody home,
Smoke and drink experiments and havin' too much fun.
I kept on messin' with my mind 'till all my sense was gone.

And now all the lights are on buy there ain't nobody home.
Yes all the lights are on but there ain't nobody home.


[Spoken] Cuckoo! ......Think about it.... NOBODY'S HOME
