Janis Ian — Mistaken Identity

[Verse 1] Where do ya go when the lights go out? Where do ya go when all the spotlights are out? Where's the pain now? Where's your fame now? What's your name now? [Refrain] Nobody, just like anybody Just like you [Verse 2] Memories you're too young to recall They come turning you on, sliding your back to the wall Remember the first page Remember the first stage Have you memorized your new name? [Refrain] Nobody, just like anybody Just like you [Verse 3] What do you do when you're not recognized? You run center stage, and you have a good cry What if they Forget your name? What've you got to say? [Refrain] "I'm nobody, just like anybody I'm just like you" [Instrumental] [Bridge 1] When the evening's daylight comes a-trickling into town Then it is my time to mourn Shadows whirling, swirling, yes, the dark sky is my friend But come the morning our friendship ends Evening time means more to me Than any time was ever meant to be Eeh, eeh [Bridge 2] Lanterns float, the keepers close the gateways to their stores And the sleepers walk the halls Blackness, silver dungeon rumors skeleton colored sun Gets the city on the run Evening time means more to me Than any time was ever meant to be Eeh, eeh [Bridge 3] If I could only waltz forever; Down the paths invite Led by a multicolored night Shadow of blackness, he's my friend, he takes my worried hand Guiding through a mystic, darkened land Ah, evening time means more to me Than any time was ever meant to be Eeh, eeh [Interlude] Ah, la la la la la la la Ah, la la la la la la [Bridge (Refrain)] Ah, evening time means more to me Than any time was ever meant to be Eeh, eeh Ahh, ahh Ahh, ahh Ahh, ahh
